Blue Notice

INTERPOL Blue Notices are issued to gather additional information about a person, their activities, and whereabouts. In such cases, surveillance will be established on the individual in question, and all their actions will be monitored.

Green Notices

INTERPOL Green Notices are issued to provide warnings about persons who have committed criminal offenses and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.

Yellow Notices

INTERPOL Yellow Notices are issued in the case of a missing person when their whereabouts remain unknown. In practice, there are many known instances of such alerts being improperly issued.

Purple Notice

INTERPOL Purple Notices are issued to seek or provide information on modi operandi, objects, devices, or concealment methods used by criminals. These notices help law enforcement agencies share knowledge on emerging crime techniques and trends.

INTERPOL Black Notices are issued to seek information on unidentified bodies. These notices help law enforcement agencies and medical examiners worldwide to identify deceased individuals whose identities are unknown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an INTERPOL Red Notice, and how does it affect me?

An INTERPOL Red Notice is an international request circulated to law enforcement agencies in 196 member countries, asking them to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition. It is not an international arrest warrant, but in practice it can lead to detention at border crossings, airport checks, and banking restrictions. A Red Notice may be issued based on a request from any member country, meaning politically motivated or legally flawed notices can target innocent individuals. If you are the subject of a Red Notice, you may face travel bans, asset freezes, and reputational damage — often without prior notification.

Can an INTERPOL Red Notice be removed?

Yes. A Red Notice can be challenged and removed through a formal application to the INTERPOL Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), the independent oversight body responsible for reviewing the compliance of INTERPOL’s data processing with its rules. Grounds for deletion include political motivation, violation of INTERPOL’s Constitution (Articles 2 and 3), lack of a valid legal basis, or the resolution of the underlying criminal case. Our lawyers have successfully removed Red Notices across dozens of jurisdictions by building a strong legal case and submitting a comprehensive CCF application.

How long does it take to challenge an INTERPOL notice?

The timeline varies depending on the type of challenge. An urgent provisional request to INTERPOL can be submitted immediately and may lead to a temporary de-publication within days in cases of acute risk of arrest. A full CCF application typically takes 9 to 18 months for a final decision. In parallel, our lawyers pursue national-level remedies — court orders, political asylum, and diffusion blocks — which can provide effective protection while the CCF process is ongoing. Early legal intervention significantly improves outcomes.

What is the difference between an INTERPOL Red Notice and a Diffusion?

A Red Notice is formally published through INTERPOL systems after review by the General Secretariat and is visible to all 196 member countries. A Diffusion is a less formal mechanism that allows a member country to circulate a wanted person data directly to selected countries without passing through the Secretariat compliance review. Diffusions are less visible publicly but can be equally dangerous — and are harder to detect and challenge. Both can result in arrest and extradition. Our firm specialises in challenging both Red Notices and Diffusions through targeted legal strategies.

What should I do if I am arrested or detained on an INTERPOL notice?

If you are detained at a border, airport, or anywhere else based on an INTERPOL notice, it is critical to contact a specialist lawyer immediately. You have the right to legal representation and to challenge the lawfulness of your detention. Our lawyers provide 24/7 emergency legal assistance in arrest situations across multiple jurisdictions. We file urgent applications to INTERPOL, contact the detaining authority directly, and seek judicial review of the detention where appropriate. Acting quickly in the first 24 to 48 hours is essential to prevent extradition proceedings from advancing.
