Can an Orange Notice be converted into a Red Notice later?

An Orange Notice and a Red Notice serve different purposes — one warns of public safety threats, the other seeks provisional arrest for extradition. However, the underlying investigation by the issuing state may evolve. If criminal charges are subsequently filed, the same country could request a Red Notice based on the expanded case file. Monitoring the status of the underlying proceedings in the issuing country is essential, as early legal engagement can challenge the factual basis before escalation occurs.
