Mugshot Removal Services That Get Results
We locate every copy of your mugshot online and get it removed — permanently.
What Our Mugshot Removal Service Includes
Every case starts with the same full-scope approach, whether your mugshot lives on one site or twelve:
- A full web scan. We locate every copy of your mugshot and record — not just the first result you found, but the mugshot sites, data brokers, and aggregators that scraped and republished it.
- Removal from mugshot sites. Takedown requests go out to site owners and registered agents within 72 hours.
- Google de-indexing. When a publisher won't comply, we pursue de-indexing so the page stops showing up in search results, even if it technically still exists somewhere online.
- Monitoring for reposts. Mugshot content sometimes resurfaces on a new site months later. We keep watching your name after removal, not just at the moment of removal.

How Mugshot Removal Works
Free Analysis
You tell us your name and where your record is posted (or ask us to search for you). A case reviewer responds within 12 hours with an honest read on your situation.
Quote
Cost depends on how many sites are publishing your record and which ones they are. You get an exact number before you pay anything.
Removal
Takedown requests go out within 72 hours. Where a publisher won't cooperate, we pursue search-engine de-indexing so the result stops surfacing.
Verification
We confirm the listing is actually gone from both the source site and search results, then keep monitoring for reappearances.
Websites We Remove Mugshots From
Mugshots don't usually live on just one site. A single booking photo commonly ends up scraped and republished across several of the following, plus county sheriff aggregators:

How Long Does Mugshot Removal Take?
For sites that honor takedown requests, removal is often complete within 72 hours of us filing. Full search-engine de-indexing typically follows within 5–7 days.
A few things can extend that timeline: how many sites are publishing your record, whether a publisher responds to the first request or requires follow-up, and whether the page needs to be de-indexed separately from the source removal. We'll tell you upfront which of these apply to your case, not after you've already paid.
Mugshot Removal Cost
Cost depends mainly on how many arrests are posted and which sites are publishing them — there's no flat rate that fits every case. Unlike hiring an attorney, there are no court costs or billable hours involved, and your first case review is always free.

Can You Remove a Mugshot Yourself for Free?
Sometimes, yes. Some publishers accept direct opt-out or takedown requests at no cost, and Google offers free tools that can help with search results specifically. The honest catch: free methods take longer, don't always work on every site, and require you to track down the right contact and paperwork yourself.
See our free removal guide if you want to try the free route first — it's a real, step-by-step guide, not a bait-and-switch.
Do You Need a Mugshot Removal Attorney?
Usually not. Attorneys can help with expungement filings, defamation claims, or extortion — but for straightforward removal from mugshot sites and search results, a lawyer's billable hours rarely add anything a dedicated removal service doesn't already do faster.

Mugshot Removal in Your State
Mugshot and expungement law varies significantly by state — a handful even require certain publishers to remove listings on request by law.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mugshot removal cost?
It depends on how many sites are publishing your record and which sites they are. There's no flat rate, but there's also no cost for the initial case review — you get an exact quote before committing to anything.
How long does it take to remove a mugshot from the internet?
Many removals are complete within 72 hours of us filing the request, with search-engine de-indexing following within 5–7 days. More stubborn cases, or ones spread across several sites, can take longer.
Is mugshot removal guaranteed?
We back every case we take on with a 100% money-back guarantee — if we don't succeed, you don't pay. We'll also tell you upfront if a case looks unusually difficult before you commit.
Can mugshots be removed from Google search results?
Yes. When a publisher won't remove the source page, we pursue de-indexing so the listing stops appearing in Google search results, separate from removing it at the source.
Will my mugshot come back after it's removed?
It can, if a different site scrapes and republishes the same public record later. That's why monitoring for reappearances is part of every case, not an upsell.
Is mugshot removal legal?
Yes. Requesting removal of your own information, and pursuing legitimate takedown and de-indexing channels, is a normal legal process — not a workaround or a loophole.
