Record Removal & Correction

Request removal or correction of a directory record — dismissed, sealed, expunged, or missing entries.

Not a consumer reporting agency — FCRA restrictions apply

PrisonAssist.com and our partner TruthFinder are not consumer reporting agencies as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Information on this Site and through our search partners is compiled from public records and is provided for personal, informational purposes only.

You may not use this Site or partner search results for any FCRA-regulated purpose, including:

  • Employment screening. Pre-employment background checks, promotion, demotion, termination, or screening of employees, contractors, or volunteers.
  • Tenant & housing screening. Decisions about leasing, renting, selling, or retaining residential or commercial property.
  • Household worker screening. Screening nannies, babysitters, caregivers, housekeepers, gardeners, or other domestic workers.
  • Professional services screening. Screening teachers, tutors, coaches, doctors, personal trainers, or similar service providers.
  • Credit, insurance & loans. Assessing creditworthiness, insurance eligibility, or eligibility for loans, mortgages, or other extensions of credit.
  • Education & scholarships. Determining eligibility for educational programs, grants, scholarships, or financial aid.
  • Consumer eligibility. Business transactions or account reviews that determine a consumer's eligibility for a product, service, or benefit.

Permitted uses generally include personal research about yourself, reconnecting with people you know, and similar non-FCRA purposes consistent with TruthFinder's permitted uses. See our Terms of Use and Disclaimer.

Legitimate requests are free — beware paid "guarantee" scams.

How it works

Directory records on PrisonAssist.com are copies of public government sources. We can update or remove our copy when appropriate — for example, after dismissal, sealing, expungement, inaccuracy, or identity mismatch. We review every request individually.

Important: Removing a record here does not remove it from the original jail, court, or sheriff website, or from TruthFinder or other third parties. Contact each source separately; for TruthFinder, see their privacy policy.

Who may submit

The person named in the record, a parent or guardian, an attorney or authorized representative, or a close family member helping a loved one. We may verify identity and relationship before acting.

What to include

  • Full name as shown on the record;
  • Facility and county;
  • Booking or inmate ID if known;
  • URL of the page showing the record;
  • Whether you want removal, correction, or update, and why;
  • Court order or documentation for dismissal, sealing, or expungement (speeds review).

Sealing & expungement

Rules vary by state. We are not a law firm and cannot file petitions for you. If a court has already sealed or expunged your record, provide documentation and we will remove our copy when verified.

Presumption of innocence

An arrest is not a conviction. Directory information must not be used for employment, housing, credit, or other FCRA-regulated decisions. See our Terms of Use.
