Believe you may be the subject of a Red Notice, or have confirmed one exists? Our network includes a licensed lawyer to bring a challenge before the CCF.
Direct answer: a Red Notice is a request to law enforcement in INTERPOL’s 195+ member countries to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. It is not itself an international arrest warrant — each country decides how to respond under its own law — and it can be challenged and removed through the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF) regardless of where you live.
Global Lawyers Link is an international legal referral and coordination network, not a law firm licensed in any single jurisdiction.
Our network includes licensed lawyers in the relevant jurisdiction for your matter, working together on strategy from day one. Representation before any court is always handled directly by the network lawyer admitted to practice there.
A Red Notice is issued at the request of a member country’s National Central Bureau and circulated to every other member country.
A Red Notice is circulated to law enforcement and border agencies across INTERPOL’s entire membership.
Each country decides for itself, under its own law, whether and how to act on a notice — INTERPOL cannot compel arrest.
INTERPOL’s Constitution forbids notices connected to political, military, religious, or racial matters.
The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files reviews challenges, typically over several months.
A Red Notice is not permanent or unreviewable. Several recognized grounds can lead to its deletion.
Tell us what you know so far. We will confirm what applies and bring in the right network lawyer — in confidence.
INTERPOL only publishes a small subset of Red Notices publicly; for most, you may need to submit a formal request for access to INTERPOL’s files to confirm whether one exists.
It should not be — INTERPOL rules require a genuine criminal case — but notices connected to commercial disputes do occur and are a recognized ground for challenge.
A national warrant is issued and enforced under one country’s own law; a Red Notice is an international circulation of that warrant asking other countries to act on it under their own laws.
Removing a Red Notice addresses the international alert itself, but does not automatically resolve any underlying domestic case or warrant in the requesting country.
Tell us what you know so far and any documents you have received. We will respond directly and confidentially, and bring in the right network lawyer if representation is needed.
