A court-issued expungement, sealing, dismissal, or pardon order can strengthen a reviewed cleanup request. It does not guarantee that Google, data brokers, mugshot sites, or news sites will remove anything.
State courts seal or expunge records under state law. That order binds the court, law enforcement, and most government databases. It does not automatically reach data brokers, mugshot sites, or Google's cached snippets. Those platforms got copies of the original record before it was sealed and have no court-mandated process to scrub them.
The result can be a mismatch: a court order changes the legal or public status of a record, while copied web pages or search indexes may remain stale. What a formal background check may report depends on the order, jurisdiction, source, and applicable law.
If you provide an order during a reviewed diagnosis, we use it as evidence when there is an eligible removal, dispute, or personal-info request path. We do not send broad automated blasts, and we do not count a request as successful without before/after proof.
Court name, case number(s), petition number, statute, order date. PDF or image of the signed order if you have one. We treat the order as evidence of your legal status, not a marketing artifact.
When a reviewed request is appropriate, the order can be cited with the court, case number, statute, and order date. Some targets still require the subject to act directly or may ignore requests.
Outcomes may be removed, pending, not found, blocked, manual-only, or outside scope. Court-level relief and legal demand work belong with a lawyer or legal aid.
A reviewed request may include language like this when it fits the source and the user's authorization (example values shown):
This is not a promise of removal. It is a way to make an eligible request more specific and evidence-backed.
Usually focus on broad broker coverage and recurring opt-outs. They may be the better fit if broker removal alone is the goal.
We focus on identity clarity, visible-source mapping, and reviewed requests where a source has an eligible route. We do not sell a big broker-count promise.
If you're unsure which category your order falls into, upload whatever you have. We'll classify it.
That's fine. The free preview can still show what appears under your name, and the reviewed diagnosis can still separate likely-you results from same-name strangers. For broker-only removal at scale, a dedicated broker service or your state's free privacy tools may be a better fit.
If you're eligible for expungement and haven't filed yet, our free eligibility checker can help you understand the basics before you talk with legal aid or an attorney.
