If you want to know for certain whether you are wanted through INTERPOL channels, I will prepare a request to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files, which will issue an official response.

Submit a copy of an identity document and all documents that lead you to believe you may be wanted through INTERPOL channels. Submit all documents in the original language. The CCF accepts documents in English, French, Spanish and Arabic, so any document needed for the request that is not in one of those languages must be translated. If you already have a translation of such a document into one of those languages, submit it together with the original: I will check whether it can be used for the request to the CCF. If there is no suitable translation, I will prepare a translation of the necessary document into English, using terminology aligned with the arguments in the request to the CCF and the applicable legal sources.

The cost of preparing the request usually does not exceed a few hundred euros, excluding document translation. If the necessary documents must be translated, I will quote the cost of the request including the time needed for that work.

I usually reply within one week after receiving all necessary documents and information. If the documents and information submitted show that the matter is not about being wanted through INTERPOL channels, I will simply tell you that. Otherwise, I will quote the cost of preparing the request and send the contract at the same time. You can pay for the service by bank transfer to my account in Switzerland or by other methods depending on the country of payment. The request itself is usually prepared within one week after payment.

Once the work is complete, you will receive the text of the request, a set of annexes and instructions on how to submit them yourself through the CCF portal. If you want me to submit the request on your behalf, a power of attorney will be required.

This service is clearly not for you if any of the following statements applies to you:
