How to remove your Arre.st account

Arre.st is a mugshot and arrest-record aggregator that republishes sheriff and jail booking data across the U.S. As of 2026 it is still online. It does not charge for removal — which exempts it from many state anti-mugshot-extortion laws — but it also does not promise removal, even for dropped, dismissed, or expunged charges.

Your realistic options:

1. If your record was expunged or sealed, send a copy of the court order to the site's listed contact and request removal.
2. If you have a U.S. court order explicitly directing removal of the content, submit it — this is the one route the site acknowledges.
3. Use Google's outdated content removal tool so de-indexed pages stop appearing in search results.
4. Mugshot sites have been heavily de-prioritized by Google since 2018, so even unremoved listings rarely rank in searches for your name.

Reputation-management firms charge heavily for this; try the free routes above first.
