How to opt out of Arrests.org
1. Find and identify the record
Use the official state directory or search. Confirm that the identifying details belong to you, not just someone with the same name.
2. Save the exact record link
Copy the complete address of the record page. Keep a private note of the date and the correction or removal you want to request.
3. Check the site's removal option
Look for removal on your record page. The standalone /remove/ route returned an error during inspection; an error is not a submitted request.

4. Read requirements before sharing documents
If an official form opens, read its requirements. Share only necessary documents through that verified route, then save the response and check the record later.
What happens next
We did not verify a working request form or a processing deadline. A 5-to-30-day estimate from another publisher is not an official promise and is not used here.
Save the submitted listing URL or identifying details, request date and every response. Received, processing and completed are different states.
After the site reports completion, check the original listing and search again for matching records. A temporary error, access block or empty search alone does not prove deletion.
Check other websites separately. Keep a reminder to review the original site again, rather than assuming one request protects every copy forever.
If the underlying official record is inaccurate, changing the website's copy is a separate issue from correcting the authority's record. This guide is not legal advice.
What removal covers
Arrests.org's public homepage provides a state directory and a name-search starting point. This guide concerns a website's copy of a record, not whether an arrest occurred, the result of a case or the legal status of an underlying record.
- Site removal is not expungement
- Removing a website's copy does not change a court or government record. For an underlying record correction or expungement question, use the relevant authority or qualified legal help.
- Identity matters
- A matching name alone does not establish that a record belongs to you. Check the identifying details before asking for changes or sending documents.
- Other publishers remain separate
- A change on Arrests.org does not automatically remove copies from other sites or update a search-engine result. Check the underlying page first.
Having trouble?
The removal route shows Error
Return to your own record and check any removal option there, or try the official site later. We could not establish a working alternative contact route. Do not invent an ID, send documents to an unverified address or assume the site has received a request.
The website asks for legal or identity documents
Read the current official instructions and share only necessary information through the verified official route. This inspection did not verify document types, upload fields or approval rules.
The page is blocked or will not load
Try the official page again later in a current browser. Do not bypass an access challenge, buy a background report to unlock removal or treat a blocked page as a completed request.
A request is marked received, but the listing remains
Check the response for its status and any published processing guidance. Keep your original request details for a follow-up through the site's official privacy or support route.
Google still shows the old result
Open the underlying page first. If it has genuinely changed or disappeared, you can use Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool. This is a separate process, not a promise of immediate search removal.
Arrests.org opt-out FAQs
Can I request removal from Arrests.org?
Start with the record that belongs to you and check the official site's removal options. The standalone removal route returned an error during our inspection. This guide does not confirm current eligibility or a successful removal process.
What is the Arrests.org removal link?
The route inspected was https://arrests.org/remove/. It showed only Error without a selected record. We did not verify a working downstream form.
Do I have to upload an ID or court document?
Current document requirements were not verified. Read any working official form before sharing documents, and do not rely on another publisher's screenshots as current instructions.
How long does Arrests.org removal take?
No official processing period or completed removal outcome was verified. We do not turn third-party estimates into a deadline.
Does removing a listing expunge an arrest?
No. A website copy and the underlying official record are separate. Seek qualified legal help or the relevant authority for questions about correcting or expunging official records.
