How Much Does Mugshot Removal Cost?
No published flat rate — and that's intentional. Get an exact quote, free.
There's no single flat rate for mugshot removal, because no two cases look the same. The main factors that affect your price:
- Number of sites publishing your record. A mugshot posted on one site costs less to clear than the same record scraped and republished across five or six aggregators.
- Which sites are involved. Some publishers cooperate with a straightforward takedown request; others require more persistent follow-up or search-engine de-indexing to get the same result.
- Your state. States with a mugshot-removal statute can sometimes streamline part of the process; states without one may require more direct negotiation.
- Case status. Documentation like an expungement order, dismissal, or acquittal can speed things up and, on some sites, changes what you're entitled to for free.
Every case, regardless of size, includes the same full scope of work — we don't charge extra per step:
- A full scan to locate every copy of your record, not just the first result you found.
- Takedown requests to every publisher involved.
- Search-engine de-indexing where a publisher won't cooperate.
- Ongoing monitoring after removal, in case your record resurfaces on a different site.
- A 100% money-back guarantee if we don't succeed.
Not every removal service is set up in your interest. Watch for:
- Per-site upsells. Being quoted one price, then charged again for each additional site once work has already started.
- No guarantee at all. A company that won't commit to a refund if it doesn't succeed has little incentive to actually finish the job.
- Pay-to-repost schemes. Some mugshot sites are affiliated with a "removal" service that charges you to take down a photo the same operator controls — effectively extortion. If a removal offer traces back to the same company that published you, treat it with real skepticism.
A mugshot ranking for your name has a cost too, even when it isn't billed to you directly. It can cost interviews and job offers when a hiring manager searches your name before calling you back. It can affect housing applications when a landlord runs the same search. And it can quietly erode trust with clients or business partners who find it before they find your actual work.
Weighed against that, a one-time removal cost — backed by a guarantee, with a free quote before you commit to anything — is usually the easier calculation once you've seen what's actually showing up in your search results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the average cost of mugshot removal?
It varies too much case to case for a single average to be meaningful — a one-site listing and a six-site listing across multiple publishers aren't priced the same. Your free case review gives you an exact number, not a range.
Do you charge per site?
You get one quote that covers everywhere your record was found at the time of your case review, not a running per-site bill as we go. If new sites turn up later, we'll tell you upfront before any additional cost applies.
Is there really a money-back guarantee?
Yes — every case we take on is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. If we don't succeed, you don't pay for it.
Do you offer financing?
We don't advertise a standardized financing plan. If cost is a concern, mention it during your free case review and we can talk through options for your specific situation.
