How to use this

An alert behaves differently depending on where you are standing. Each page below covers only the local specifics — who decides on detention, which court hears an extradition request, whether a travel ban can be imposed separately, and what bail looks like. The procedure before the Commission is the same everywhere and is not repeated on each page.

Jurisdictions we cover

Why the jurisdiction matters twice

Two countries usually matter in any file: the one that made the request, and the one you are standing in. They rarely raise the same questions, and separating them is the first thing we do — our red notice removal service.

If nothing has been established yet

The jurisdiction question comes second. First comes the record — what an Interpol red notice is, and how to find out whether one concerns you.

Not sure which jurisdiction matters in your case?

Tell us where the case comes from and where you are now. Those two facts change what is done first.
