The short version
Ask the site that copied the record to remove or anonymise it. The court decides its own records. A site that copied a record decides its copy. Google decides what shows in search. Start by saving the link and a dated screenshot, then get a free plan for your situation.

Identify the source and copy sites
Check whether Google shows an official court page, publisher article, database, scraper site or copied version. The source affects the options.
Collect the missing context
Save dates, outcomes, appeal results, corrections, expungement or spent-conviction information where relevant, and screenshots of the search result.
Know when to get legal advice first
Some matters need a lawyer first, especially if a case is still running, or you want to know whether a spent-conviction scheme or a non-publication order covers you. Legal Aid and community legal centres can help. For copies on other sites, the free check gives you a letter and the official links, and you send them yourself.
Keep accurate information about you current
If the record stays online, an accurate work profile or business page gives people more to go on. Nobody controls what Google shows.
Questions
Can old court records always be removed?
No. It depends on the record, where you live, who published it and whether any special rules apply. The free check shows the routes that may fit. If you’re not sure whether a spent-conviction scheme or non-publication order covers you, ask Legal Aid or a lawyer first.
Is Fix My Name Online a law firm?
No. Fix My Name Online is not a law firm and doesn’t give legal advice. It gives you free, self-service plans and letters you send yourself.
Fix My Name Online is a self-service tool, not a law firm, and this isn’t legal advice. Publishers, platforms and search engines make their own decisions; no one can promise a result. Need a lawyer?
