Can I request that specific sensitive details be redacted from a Black Notice involving my relative?

INTERPOL General Secretariat controls Black Notice content and generally resists redaction requests that would impair identification efforts. However, where publication of certain details — such as circumstances suggesting suicide, sensitive medical conditions, or locations implying undocumented migration — would cause disproportionate harm to surviving family members without materially aiding identification, formal representations can be made through the originating National Central Bureau. Success depends on demonstrating that alternative descriptors would be equally effective for identification purposes. Such requests typically require 8–16 weeks for review and are granted only in exceptional circumstances.
