How to Remove Records From Case Search
How to Remove Records From Case Search explains how some Maryland court records may be removed from public Case Search results. This depends on the case type and the legal option that applies.
To remove a record, users may need:
- Expungement
- Shielding
- A written court request in some cases
These options do not apply to every case.
To understand this, remember:
- Some criminal cases may qualify for expungement
- Some civil cases may qualify for shielding
- Some peace or protective order cases may qualify in certain outcomes
- Removal follows legal rules
Not every record can be removed.
Important: A case does not disappear from Case Search just because it is old or closed. Removal usually requires a legal process.
