Record Review FAQ

What can I report?

You can report wrong facts, the wrong person, a court sealing order, an Arizona expungement order, a court or agency correction, a concern about a minor, or a booking photo problem.

Will Azrested remove a record if charges were dropped?

Not always. Send proof of the case result. A dropped charge may help support a court sealing request, but it does not automatically remove every public record.

What proof should I send?

Send the signed court order, agency correction, or identity record that supports your request. Make sure the proof matches the exact Azrested page.

What Arizona laws may matter?

The answer depends on the record. Arizona laws cover public records, sealing, set asides, some marijuana expungements, and records about minors. Common sections include A.R.S. 39-121, 13-911, 13-905, 36-2862, and 8-208.

Does a set aside remove a record?

Not by itself. A set aside may help us understand the current case result, but Arizona law does not make every old public record disappear.

Does a sealing order remove a record everywhere?

Not always. A sealing order controls records held by the offices named in the law. Copies shared before the order may still exist. Send us the signed order so we can review the Azrested page.

Does Arizona expungement cover every case?

No. A.R.S. section 36-2862 only covers certain marijuana offenses. Other cases may use sealing, a set aside, or a correction.

What should I send for a booking photo request?

Send the record link, proof of identity, and any court order or law that supports the request.

How can a lawyer, court, or agency contact Azrested?

Use the official legal contact page or email [email protected]. Include the record link, the name on the record, and proof.

Need to Act on a Record?

Use the review form to send the record link, person details, and proof. Courts, agencies, and attorneys may use legal contact.
