Mugshot removal, with the scope in writing.
Mugshot sites republish booking photos to rank in your name, long after the case is over. We work on removal at the source first, and put each accepted listing in writing.
Send the listing’s web address and a line on how the case ended. Links only, no files.

How mugshot removal works
Which rule can remove a mugshot.
A listing moves when the request uses the rule that actually fits. Sorting it by who controls the page and how your case ended is what makes a quote honest.
On a mugshot site, the site’s own removal policy comes first. A state mugshot or criminal-record rule may also matter, depending on where the listing, the arrest and you are.
- The site’s own removal policycomes first
- A state mugshot rulewhere one applies
- How your case endedcan strengthen it
- Google’s own requestsGoogle only
- A jail, sheriff or court pageoutside this price
The mugshot site, not the court’s record.
A case that ended in your favor (dropped, dismissed, sealed, or expunged) can strengthen the request. The site still makes the decision. Expungement itself is court work for a lawyer. We handle the online listing.
A county jail, sheriff, or court page is controlled by the agency that publishes it, and public-record rules set the limit.

Official records are outside this price, and so are charges that are still pending.

Official records are the agency’s or the court’s, outside this price.
Removed at the source, or out of Google only.
Removal at the source takes the listing off the site itself, and it comes first.
A result missing from Google is not the same as the page being gone. If the site asks you to pay it, don’t pay the publisher blindly: any price should come from a written scope.
More detail
Google has two requests of its own, below, for sites that charge for removal and for pages that are already gone; they change only Google’s results, not the listing on the site.
- Removal at the sourceoff the site
- Google: sites that chargeGoogle results only
- Google: Refresh outdated contentonce it’s gone
- Other search enginescan still show it
Each listing gets a written label.
Each accepted listing is reported on its own, in writing: removed at the source, delisted from search, or still in progress. A search-only result is labeled as limited, never as removal.
Hosts, platforms, and search engines make the final decision.
- mugshots.example/p/…Source removed
- arrests.example/r/…Search delisted
- booked.example/…In progress
- records.example/…No result

Removal at the source, or out of Google only
Removal at the source takes the listing off the site itself. Google has two requests of its own that change only its results, not the listing on the site.
If a site charges to take a listing down, Google Search has its own request. You, or someone acting for you, can ask when you are the subject of the page, the site is not a business review site, and the site requires payment for removal. The URL then stops appearing in Google results, but the page itself may stay online.
If the site has already taken the listing down but Google still shows it, Google’s Refresh outdated content request asks Google to update its result.
Neither request changes the site. When the listing itself has to come down, that is removal at the source, and it is what the price below covers.

State laws
State mugshot-publishing laws
Some states regulate commercial mugshot sites directly. These are only the laws we have read in the state’s own statute text; a state that is not listed is not a claim that it has none. What a law means for your listing is a question for a lawyer.
From the official pages (2)
Florida, Florida Statutes § 901.43: a person or business that publishes arrest booking photographs may not solicit or accept a fee to remove them. The person shown, or a legal representative, can ask the publisher’s registered agent in writing, by registered mail, with proof of identity and details identifying the photograph; the publisher must then remove it without charge within 10 calendar days and may not republish it. The section covers publishers that ask for or accept payment for removal, or whose primary business is publishing booking photographs for commercial gain.
California, Civil Code § 1798.91.1: it is unlawful for anyone who publishes booking photographs to solicit, require, or accept a fee from the person shown to remove, correct, or modify the photograph, or to stop publishing it. Each payment is a separate violation, and the person can sue for the greater of one thousand dollars per violation or actual damages, plus costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

What we can’t do
Said plainly, up front. We’re a removal agency, not a law firm.
- Make a site say yes. A site can turn down a request with weak or incomplete paperwork.
- Expunge or seal a record. That is court work for a lawyer. We handle the online listing.
- Remove an official record. Some need a lawyer; some can only be made harder to find.
- Call a hidden Google result removed. A result missing from Google is not the same as the page being gone.

Mugshot removal FAQ
How do I get my mugshot off the internet?
Each listing is reviewed under the rule that fits: the site’s own removal policy, a state rule where one applies, or how your case ended (dropped, dismissed, expunged, or sealed). We identify the listing, say in writing whether the goal is removal at the source or a search-only result, and keep the details in your private case file.
How much does mugshot removal cost?
Mugshot and record removal is $2,000 per site on our rate card. Every paid order gets a 48-hour acceptance review before any work begins, and if we can’t accept it you’re refunded in full. Charges that are still pending and official government or court records are not covered by this price. Once we accept it, each site not verified removed within 30 days is refunded. What counts as done: source removed, verified for the accepted mugshot or record listing. Hosts, platforms, and search engines make the final decision.
Is there a free way to get a mugshot out of Google?
Only partly. Google takes requests about sites that charge for removal, but that only hides the result in Google: the listing stays on the site, and other search engines can still show it. Our mugshot removal goes after the listing itself, at the source, for $2,000 per site. Every paid order gets a 48-hour acceptance review, and if we can’t accept it you’re refunded in full before any work begins. Official jail, sheriff and court records are not something we remove; the agency or court controls them.
Can you remove a mugshot if the charges were dropped or expunged?
A dropped, dismissed, expunged, or sealed case can strengthen the request, but it does not guarantee removal. Tell us how the case ended, and we will tell you in writing which option looks usable before any work is accepted.
Arrest record, booking photo, court record: what is the difference?
A booking photo is the photograph taken when someone is booked after an arrest; California’s statute ties it to an arrest or other involvement in the criminal justice system. Arrest and court records are the official records kept by the police, the jail and the courts. Commercial mugshot sites republish booking photos, and that listing is what this page covers. The official record itself is controlled by the agency or court, and changing it is legal work for a lawyer. We work on the commercial listing and its search results.
Is mugshot removal the same as expungement?
No. Expungement is a legal process that seals or clears a record in the court system, and that is a lawyer’s job. We work on the online listing and its search results. We’re a removal agency, not a law firm; if you need expungement, we’ll tell you.
