How to Remove Your Record from Casemine

Step-by-step guide to removing your court records from Casemine search results, including what an expungement order does and does not clear.

Casemine is an international legal research platform based in India. It indexes court records from multiple countries, including the United States. If you have been involved in any kind of court proceeding, there is a real chance your name appears on their platform.

What makes Casemine different: it is operated outside U.S. jurisdiction. Most people expect to deal with domestic platforms like CourtListener or Justia. They are surprised to find their U.S. court records on an internationally-operated site. And because Casemine has decent domain authority, those pages rank in Google alongside the domestic platforms.

How your U.S. court record ends up on Casemine

Casemine uses automated scraping and data partnerships to collect legal records from court systems worldwide. For U.S. records, they pull from publicly available sources including federal court databases, state court systems, and other aggregators. Once a record is in their system, it gets published as a standalone page that Google indexes.

How to request removal

Step one: go to Casemine.com and search for your name. Identify every page that references you and note the full URLs.

Step two: submit your removal request through Casemine's contact form, or email support@casemine.com. Use the subject line "Removal Request" so it gets routed correctly.

Step three: provide the details they need. Include the specific Casemine URL, your full name, your relationship to the case, and a valid reason for removal. Privacy concerns, sealed or expunged status, and reputational harm are all valid grounds. If the case was sealed or expunged, attach your court documentation. Casemine typically removes sealed or expunged records and may de-index others upon request.

Step four: wait. Casemine often processes removal requests within seven business days. That is faster than many other international platforms. If you do not hear back within that window, send a polite follow-up referencing your original request.

Step five: once Casemine confirms the removal, check your Google search results. If the Casemine link still appears, use the Google Outdated Content Tool to request removal from search results. This usually clears within a few days.

Challenges with international platforms

The main challenge is jurisdiction. U.S. privacy laws and state-level expungement orders carry no binding authority over a company based in another country. That said, we have had consistent success with Casemine removal requests by being clear, providing documentation, and following up. If your initial request gets no response, escalating through legal counsel or submitting a Google content removal request for the specific URL are both viable paths.

Your record is probably on other sites too

If Casemine has your court record, other platforms likely do as well. CourtListener, Justia, Trellis, UniCourt, PacerMonitor, and DocketBird all pull from the same sources. Removing from one platform while ignoring the rest leaves your record visible through multiple other sources. Our complete court record removal guide covers the full strategy.

Casemine answers in English, on Indian business hours, to requests that arrive with documentation attached. We have made that request before. Let's get to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove a court case from Casemine?

Submit a removal request through Casemine's contact form at casemine.com/home/contactUs, or email support@casemine.com with the subject line "Removal Request." Include the specific Casemine URL, your full name, your relationship to the case, and the reason for removal. Casemine typically processes requests within seven business days.

Why does Casemine show up when I Google my name?

Casemine has strong domain authority in Google search results. Their pages often rank highly for name-based searches related to court cases. Even if the original court record is buried, the Casemine version can surface prominently on page one.

Does Casemine have a legal obligation to remove my record if it was expunged?

Not under U.S. law. Casemine operates out of India and falls outside domestic court jurisdiction. That said, providing a certified copy of your expungement order significantly increases the likelihood of removal. We have seen expunged records cleared from Casemine within five to ten business days when documentation is attached to the initial request.

Can I use a GDPR or CCPA request to force Casemine to remove my record?

GDPR applies if you are an EU resident, and Casemine does process some European data. That route has teeth if applicable. California's CCPA is harder to enforce against a foreign operator, but citing it in your request can still move things along. The most reliable approach remains a direct email with clear documentation.

Will removing my record from Casemine remove it from Google?

No. Removing the Casemine page does not automatically clear Google's cached result. After Casemine confirms the takedown, use Google's Outdated Content Removal Tool at search.google.com to request de-indexing of the specific URL. That process typically resolves within 48 to 72 hours.

What if Casemine removes the page but another site re-publishes the same record?

Casemine pulling a page does not stop CourtListener, Trellis, or PacerMonitor from hosting the same underlying filing. Each site requires a separate removal request. Audit your full Google search results across at least the first three pages before assuming the record is fully suppressed.

Does expungement automatically remove my record from Casemine?

No. Expungement seals or destroys the record within the originating court system. It does not reach third-party aggregators like Casemine. You have to submit a separate removal request directly to Casemine, attach a copy of your expungement order, and cite the expunged status as the basis for removal. After Casemine confirms the takedown, use the Google Outdated Content Tool to clear any cached search result.

An Indian company is not bound by your expungement order.

It still removes pages when the order is attached and the request is filed the way their team answers them. We file Casemine alongside every other aggregator republishing the same docket, then clear the cached Google result once the source page is gone.
