Most INTERPOL Red Notices are not publicly available. Only a small fraction appear on INTERPOL’s website; the rest are visible exclusively to law enforcement authorities. Many individuals discover a Red Notice only after an arrest or detention.
To reduce this risk, seek specialist legal support to check, track, and verify whether an INTERPOL Notice exists and how it affects your international mobility.

INTERPOL Defence Services
An INTERPOL Red Notice is not an arrest warrant, nor does it establish guilt. Rather, it is an international alert circulated to law enforcement authorities in 196 INTERPOL member countries, which often results in serious practical consequences, including restrictions on travel, banking disruptions, and significant reputational harm.
Successfully challenging an INTERPOL Red Notice or Diffusion requires specialised legal expertise, a carefully structured strategy, and in-depth knowledge of INTERPOL’s Rules on the Processing of Data (“RPD”).
We specialise in defending individuals targeted by politically motivated INTERPOL Red Notices and Diffusions. Our services include:
1. INTERPOL Data Access Requests
Legal requests to determine whether personal data or a Red Notice exists within INTERPOL’s databases. Not all Red Notices are publicly available, and therefore, an Access Request is, in most cases, a crucial first step.
Strategic submissions to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files where an INTERPOL Notice is politically motivated, militarily or religiously linked, abusive, or violates INTERPOL’s legal framework.
3. INTERPOL Pre-emptive Requests
Strategic legal representation in submitting pre-emptive requests to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files to proactively protect clients from the potential misuse of INTERPOL systems before any Red Notice or alert is issued. This preventive defence places the General Secretariat on notice of possible rule violations and strengthens any future request for access, correction, or deletion of data.
What is an INTERPOL Red Notice?
An INTERPOL Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person, pending extradition or similar legal action. It is not an international arrest warrant, and INTERPOL itself has no power to order arrests. Each country decides independently whether and how to act.
1. NCB’s Request
An INTERPOL member country’s National Central Bureau (“NCB”) submits a request to INTERPOL based on a national arrest warrant.
2. INTERPOL Review
INTERPOL reviews the request to ensure compliance with its Constitution and internal rules.
3. Publication
If approved, the Red Notice is published and circulated to INTERPOL member countries.
4. National Response
Each country decides independently whether to act on the Red Notice in accordance with national law.
If you have strong grounds to believe that your data is in INTERPOL’s database, you have the right to submit an Access Request to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (“CCF”). Additionally, you have the right to request the Deletion of a Red Notice if its circulation is in violation of INTERPOL’s framework.
