How to remove yourself from ArrestWarrant.org
ArrestWarrant.org takes opt-out requests by fax or mail, and only if one of four conditions applies to you: you're a law enforcement officer or public official under threat, a victim of identity theft, at risk of physical harm, or you can show the record is wrong or expunged. The request needs a written explanation, a copy of your ID and your details, and the site removes only your current address and up to two previous ones.

How to opt out of ArrestWarrant.org
- 1
Open the opt-out page
Go to the ArrestWarrant.org opt-out page and check that one of the four conditions it lists fits you: law enforcement or public official under threat, identity theft victim, risk of physical harm, or a record that's incorrect or expunged.
- 2
Write your explanation
Say where your data appears on the site, which of the four conditions applies, and why the public record is inaccurate or harmful. File one request per person.
- 3
Add your ID and details
Include a copy of your current US driver's license or state ID. List your full name, date of birth, any aliases, current and previous addresses, phone and email.
- 4
Attach the records and sign
Add a printout of the records you want suppressed, plus any court orders. The site says unsigned or incomplete requests aren't processed.
- 5
Send it by fax or mail
Send everything to the Opt-Out Compliance Department at the fax number or the Boston P.O. box on the opt-out page. Email isn't a way to submit it.
Watch out for
- The site only accepts requests that fit one of its four conditions.
- Only your current address and up to two previous address records are removed.
- The site wants a copy of your ID, so send it only to the contact on the opt-out page itself.
- The site says it can't promise information won't appear again from other sources.
- ArrestWarrant.org points you to the original source of the record. Removing it here doesn't remove it from the court or agency that holds it.

Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
