How to request removal

The fastest way to request removal of a specific record is to use the removal request link found directly beneath the record on its individual page. This ensures your request includes the correct record details and is processed promptly.

What we consider

All records on Court Trace are court appearance listings sourced from publicly available government and court sources. Removal requests are considered on a case by case basis. Grounds that may support removal include:

  • The record contains a factual error
  • The matter was dismissed, withdrawn, or not proceeded with
  • There is a genuine safety or privacy concern
  • The subject is a victim rather than a defendant

What we do not remove

Records of active matters are generally not removed solely on request. Court Trace indexes information that is already in the public domain via official government sources.

Timeframe

Removal requests are reviewed manually. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
