Heads up: We don't have an opt-out link for this site yet. The steps below may be out of date. Search the site's footer for "privacy", "do not sell", or "opt out" links.

Steps

  1. Check whether you're listed. Search arrests.org for your name, city, and state. Note any listings that match you, including older addresses.
  2. Or send an email. You can also email info@arrests.org and ask them to remove your record. Include your full name, the address shown on the listing, and a link to it if there is one. Don't send anything they don't already have.
  3. Be careful with ID requests. This site may ask you to verify who you are. If it asks for a photo ID, cover the license number and photo first, and only share what's needed.
  4. Confirm by email. Watch your inbox, and your spam folder, for a confirmation link. Most requests aren't processed until you click it. A separate email address just for opt-outs helps.
  5. Check again later. Search for yourself again in a few days. Brokers often re-add people from new public records, so put a reminder on your calendar to check again in 6 months.

We wrote these steps from the opt-out method on file. Our automated check confirms the link responds. It does not confirm the form works.

FAQ

Is it free to opt out of Arrests.org?

Submitting an opt-out request yourself is normally free. You don't need to buy a report or a membership to ask for removal.

How long does it take?

It varies. Some sites remove a listing within a day or two, others take several weeks. Search again after a few days and again later.

Will my information come back?

It can. Brokers rebuild profiles from new public records, so plan to check again about every 6 months.
