Google Removal Center / Mugshot Removal Assessment
An arrest photo can appear on a booking website, a social post, and Google Images at the same time. Start with a free review that distinguishes the original photo page from its search results and reposts.
When this assessment is useful
Mugshot publisher pages, outdated booking information, incorrect identity matches, and arrest photos appearing in Google Images.
What removal can—and cannot—change
An arrest is not a conviction. Removing a private mugshot page does not erase an official arrest record, and no single request covers every repost.
What to include
- The webpage URL and, where available, the image URL.
- The search terms showing the photo and any duplicate pages you found.
- Any publisher payment demand or factual error relevant to the request.
Send public links and a brief explanation. Leave out passwords, financial details, and identity documents.
How the review works
- Identify the source page, photo URL, and independent republications.
- Review publisher options and whether Google’s exploitative-removal-practices policy may apply.
- Recheck the source, web search, and image search separately after any action.
Your assessment and any next steps
The initial assessment is free and carries no obligation. It identifies the URLs to review, possible routes, key limitations, and any additional information needed. If paid help is appropriate, request a written scope, price, payment schedule, and definition of completion before proceeding. No universal success rate or deadline applies to every publisher.
Does paying a removal company guarantee Google will delete the photo?
No. Google makes its own policy decisions. Ask whether the provider is offering source deletion, search removal, or both, and get the scope and payment terms in writing.
