What happens if a Yellow Notice was issued based on a custody dispute that has since been resolved?

If underlying custody proceedings have concluded — whether through court judgment, settlement, or the child’s return — the legal basis for the Yellow Notice may no longer exist. A formal deletion request to the CCF should include certified court orders, evidence of compliance with any return obligations, and confirmation that the requesting state’s authorities have been notified. The CCF typically requires three to six months to process such requests. If the requesting country’s NCB confirms the matter is resolved, deletion is generally granted, though delays occur when NCBs are unresponsive.
