Remove mugshots and arrest records from the internet

How mugshot removal works in practice

Mugshot sites are a scraping industry: they bulk-harvest booking records and rank them for name searches. Many states now regulate them, particularly for dismissed or expunged cases, and listings can be removed in most cases wherever you live. We remove the listings at the source where possible, de-index the rest from Google, and clear image results, handling the aggregators as a set because removing one listing while its mirrors survive achieves nothing.

Who this happens to

The people hurt worst by mugshot sites are usually the ones the justice system already cleared. An arrest that never led to charges, charges that were dropped, a case dismissed or expunged years ago. The legal record moves on, but the scraped booking photo keeps ranking. We regularly hear from professionals who lost interviews, tenants refused leases, and parents whose children found the photo before they could explain it.

The sites profit from exactly this gap between legal outcome and search results. Booking data is public at the moment of arrest, so aggregators harvest it in bulk, optimise the pages to rank for names, and rely on the embarrassment doing the selling. That is the business we work against on your behalf.

Why people bring mugshot removal to us

Mugshot sites are built to make removal feel like something you have to pay them for. Paying a site's own "removal service" rewards the model and rarely ends the problem, because the same record often lives on sister sites and in Google results. Clients come to us because they want the whole problem handled, not one page.

We take on the full picture: every site carrying the record, the Google result and the image thumbnail people actually see, and the verification that it is all gone. One specialist manages it from start to finish, confidentially.

Timelines and what finished looks like

Many removals clear within days to a few weeks per site, while some sites take longer. De-indexing from Google is pursued alongside, so the result stops appearing for your name even while a stubborn site stalls. You receive a URL-by-URL status report throughout, not a vague reassurance.

Finished means: the listings removed or unfindable, the booking photo gone from image results, name searches clean, and verification screenshots in your hands. Because aggregators re-scrape public records, clients with sensitive histories often keep monitoring in place afterwards so any republication is caught and refiled before it indexes.

If your case may qualify for expungement or sealing but you haven't pursued it, that's worth knowing before removal work begins. We're not attorneys and don't handle the court side, but we'll flag it honestly and plan the online work around it.
