Identify the surface.
Source page, search result, service profile, broker page, or official boundary are treated as separate boundary questions.
MUGSHOT & RECORD REMOVAL
Online reputation — removal
Mugshot removal, bounded in writing.
Mugshot sites republish booking photos to rank in your name — long after the case is over, and whether or not you were ever convicted. We review source removal first, keep search de-listing labeled as the fallback, and put accepted items in writing. Here’s how the boundary works.
This page is education, not legal advice. We are a removal agency, not a law firm; for advice on your specific situation, consult an attorney — or start with the written boundary check and we'll tell you honestly what your case needs.
Client-record review
Boundary first, then decide.
Non-intimate reputation matters can start with a private boundary check. Source fit, visibility limits, price, and stop limits are written before work is accepted.
Boundary assessmentWritten boundaryNo guarantees
02
Name the boundary.
Policy, legal boundary, privacy option, official referral, or visibility work is labeled before work begins.
03
Write the boundary.
Eligible work is defined item by item, with stop limits and search-fallback items separated.
04
Verify the outcome.
Removal, de-listing, suppression, and follow-up checks are reported as different outcomes.
Authorization readiness receipt
A quote should read like a boundary file.
Before AboutUs work, the record should name the item, what surface can act, what basis fits, and what is only visibility work.

ITEM
What is being pursued.
The file separates source pages, search results, broker profiles, mirrors, and excluded records without publishing the work order.
BASIS
Why this basis applies.
Policy, privacy, state record rule, DMCA, or legal referral is named before work begins.
OUTCOME
What success would mean.
Source change, visibility work, follow-up checks, and stop limits stay separate in the written boundary.
TERMS
What happens if it does not fit.
Items AboutUs cannot responsibly accept are declined, referred, or handled under the acceptance review terms.
Assessment decision packet
What gets decided before money changes hands.
The first useful answer is not a sales pitch. It should separate route boundaries, source status, search exposure, excluded items, and anything that belongs with public authorities or outside help.
Official boundary check
Official tools, platform reports, and safety referrals are named before AboutUs work when they fit the situation.
Fit / limit split
Items are sorted into written boundaries before a service agreement: what can be reviewed, what is excluded, and what needs a safer route.
Evidence record
The client record holds the private proof summary so the public page does not become the operating file.
No card-first handoff
Eligible AboutUs work gets written intended outcomes and refund terms. Sensitive matters do not start with upload or checkout.
00 — CASE BASIS RECORD
Before you pay
Name the basis before the invoice.
Mugshot work gets cleaner when the listing is sorted by who controls it, which proof exists, and whether the realistic outcome is source change or visibility-limited work.
AboutUs is a removal agency, not a law firm. Expungement, sealing, defamation strategy, and court-order work belong with counsel before removal work is sold.
SITEBASIS
The site has a removal policy.
Some mugshot and arrest-photo sites publish their own eligibility rules. Start there, then keep the request tied to the exact URL and evidence.
See boundary basisLAWBASIS
State law gives a path.
A state mugshot or criminal-record rule may matter, but the fit depends on where the listing, arrest, and requester sit.
Check legal fitCASEBASIS
The case ended in your favor.
Dismissed, dropped, sealed, or expunged dispositions can strengthen the file when the paperwork supports the request.
Review the recordSEARCHBASIS
The source will not act.
Search de-listing can reduce name-search visibility, but it is fallback work. The source page may still exist by direct link.

M01
Booking photo on a mugshot aggregator
Public boundary
Site policy and state law set the ceiling.
Client record
Which basis fits — and the file that proves it — stays in the client record. A minimal private summary is enough to start.
Boundary
A source site can reject weak or incomplete documentation.
M02
Charges dropped, dismissed, sealed, or expunged
Public boundary
A favorable disposition can strengthen a source request; the site still sets its own ceiling.
Client record
Keep every official receipt together in one private place; how the disposition supports the request stays in the client record.
Boundary
Expungement itself is legal work. AboutUs handles online listings, not court filings.
M03
County jail, sheriff, or court page
Public boundary
The agency that publishes the record is the official owner, and public-record rules set the ceiling.
Client record
Whether removal, redaction, or counsel review fits is a private, case-by-case call.
Boundary
Official records are harder and may be counsel-only or suppression-only.
M04
Google ranks an old listing in your name
Public boundary
Source removal is the stronger outcome; search de-listing is the fallback, and Google sets its own ceiling.
Client record
Keep the visible surface preserved privately; how source work and search fallback are split is sorted during review, not on this page.
Boundary
A missing Google result is not the same as source deletion.
M05
A site asks you to pay it directly
Public boundary
Pay-to-remove demands carry their own risk; a written agreement sets the ceiling.
Client record
Keep the demand and the pages behind it preserved privately; pay-to-remove risk is assessed inside the file.
Boundary
Do not pay the publisher blindly; pricing should come from a written service agreement.
If the boundary is still unclear, use client-record review before paying. A useful mugshot quote names the site, basis, proof, intended outcome, fallback status, and refund term.
Client-record reviewHOW IT WORKS
Reviewed under the right boundary.
A mugshot listing has the strongest path when the request is reviewed under the right boundary. Depending on your case, that may be the site’s own removal policy, your state’s mugshot or criminal-record removal law, or your case disposition — dropped, dismissed, expunged, or sealed. The client record keeps the source record and follow-up context together without turning the page into a filing guide.
Timing varies by site, legal boundary, and whether the listing has spread to mirrors or search. Aggregate outcomes across eligible cases; individual results vary per your written service agreement.
REMOVAL VS DE-LISTING
Source removal — or search fallback.
The strongest outcome is removal at the source: the listing is taken off the mugshot site itself. Where a site won’t act, search de-listing hides the page from Google results in your name. De-listing is a fallback, never a substitute for removal — and we tell you up front which one your case realistically supports.
PRICING
Reviewed items in writing.
Mugshot and record removal is $2,000 per site. Every order gets a 48-hour acceptance review first — if it’s outside the boundary or something we can’t accept, you’re refunded before any work begins. Reviewed items carry written outcome and refund terms. Aggregate outcomes across eligible cases; individual results vary per your written service agreement.
Common questions
Straight answers.
- How do I get my mugshot off the internet?
- Mugshot and arrest-photo sites are reviewed under the right boundary — the site's own removal policy, your state's mugshot-removal law, or your case disposition (dropped, dismissed, expunged, or sealed). We identify the reviewed item, define source removal versus search fallback in writing, and keep the handling inside the client record.
- How much does mugshot removal cost?
- Mugshot and record removal is $2,000 per site on our rate card. Every order gets a 48-hour acceptance review, and if we can’t accept it you’re refunded before any work begins. Reviewed items carry written outcome and refund terms. Aggregate outcomes across eligible cases; individual results vary per your written service agreement. See full pricing and terms on the rate card.
- Can you remove a mugshot if the charges were dropped or expunged?
- A dropped, dismissed, expunged, or sealed case can strengthen the review, but it is not an automatic public checklist. Tell us the disposition and the client record will say what boundary appears usable before work is accepted.
- Is mugshot removal the same as expungement?
- No. Expungement is a legal process that seals or clears a record in the court system — that’s a lawyer’s job. We remove the online listing and de-list it from search. We’re a removal agency, not a law firm; if you need expungement, we’ll tell you.
Written boundary
Price only after the boundary is clear.
Mugshot work depends on the site, the case disposition, and whether source removal or search fallback is realistic. The reviewed item and refund term should be written before work begins.
