How to Remove Public Court Records From the Internet

When it comes to removing a public court record from the internet, the best thing to do is have the court record first sealed or expunged. Only after this is done should you reach out to a website, with the assistance of an experienced attorney, and ask them to remove your court records.

The process of removing public court records from the internet primarily consists of two primary steps:

Filing a motion with a court to seal or expunge the relevant court records; and

After a judge grants the motion to seal or expunge the court records, having an attorney contact the website to ask them to take down the court records.

The ease in which you can seal or expunge a court record will depend on several factors, such as:

The type of public record (a criminal or civil court case);

The severity of the crime committed;

The public’s need to access the public court record;

How long it has been since the court record was created;

The legal costs in having the public record expunged or sealed.

This blog post will discuss these variables and provide useful information for people with a criminal history and people who are curious about court data works. It will also provide a general overview of how the sealing or expungement process works to remove public court records from the internet.

Lastly, it will provide guidance on how to seek help from an expert to remove court records from the web, particularly when expungement is not automatic and you may need an expert to ask a court to take action to have records removed.
