What happens if the criminal case underlying the Blue Notice is dismissed in my home country?

Dismissal of the underlying case does not automatically trigger deletion of the Blue Notice. The requesting country must voluntarily notify its National Central Bureau to withdraw the notice, which frequently does not occur. If the case has been dismissed, acquitted, or otherwise concluded, a formal deletion request must be submitted to the CCF with certified court documents, official translations, and a legal submission demonstrating the notice no longer serves a valid law enforcement purpose. Processing typically takes 6–9 months, depending on CCF workload.
