If I have been granted asylum, why does my Red Notice still appear active?

Refugee status is a strong ground for deletion, but Interpol does not automatically monitor asylum decisions worldwide. The notice may remain active until you or your legal representatives formally notify the CCF and submit certified proof of your refugee status. Once documented, refugee status weighs heavily in the review under INTERPOL’s policy on refugees. The CCF must decide on a deletion request within nine months of the request being declared admissible (this can be extended in particular cases), so proactive filing is essential.
