UniCourt records can linger in your online search results long after the case is over. We help remove eligible listings or suppress them so they stop appearing when someone looks up your name.
UniCourt publishes millions of public court cases that can appear in Google search results when someone looks up your name. If a case tied to you appears on UniCourt or other record sites, you can take steps to remove it or reduce its visibility.
This guide explains exactly how to remove UniCourt records and what to do if your request is denied. Learn more about removing court cases from Google.
UniCourt is a public legal database that gathers case information from state and federal courts across the United States.
It’s built for attorneys, journalists, and researchers who need easy access to legal data.
But, the platform also publishes personal records that can show up in Google search results.
As of 2025, UniCourt lists more than 130 million cases and billions of docket entries, making it one of the largest online sources of public court information.
Yes, but only under specific circumstances. UniCourt will consider removing or redacting records when:
If your record meets these criteria, UniCourt will remove or hide it from their database.
Once that happens, Google will typically update its index within a few weeks, and the record will no longer appear in search results.
If your case qualifies for removal, UniCourt makes it possible to request redaction directly through their website.
Follow these steps carefully and include accurate information to avoid delays in processing.
Go to UniCourt’s official removal page. After reading the information carefully, scroll to the bottom of the page to fill out the form.
If you have multiple records to remove, you must complete a separate form for each.
→ Fill out the form completely:
→ Indicate whether the record has been sealed by a court order.
→ Finally, check the agreement box and click “Submit Request.”
After you submit the form, UniCourt will send a verification email to the address you provided.
You must open that message and click the confirmation link before your request can be reviewed.
If you skip this step, UniCourt will not process your redaction request.
Make sure to check your inbox (and spam folder) for the verification email to avoid delays.
Once your email is verified, choose the name or party you want UniCourt to remove.
If your name appears in more than one case, you’ll need to submit a separate request for each record
This helps ensure that every listing tied to your name is reviewed and handled correctly.
If UniCourt denies your request, you have two options:
You can appeal the decision by submitting new or updated documentation—such as a sealed court order or proof that the case was expunged.
Without substantial new evidence, UniCourt will likely deny your request again.
If removal isn’t possible, search engine suppression is the next best step. Suppression pushes negative listings like UniCourt off the first page of Google, where almost no one will see them.
At Reputation911, our search result suppression services replace unwanted results with positive, trustworthy content, cleaning up your online presence and protecting your reputation.
This approach is especially effective if your name appears on multiple court record sites such as Trellis, PacerMonitor, or Justia. We can help you take control of what shows up when people search your name.
