Many people learn about a notice only at a border or a bank. You can check earlier through Interpol’s Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), an independent body that reviews individual requests.
Who may apply
Anyone may request access to data about themselves processed in Interpol’s information system. You may apply in person or through a representative with a power of attorney.
What you need
- a completed request form in one of Interpol’s working languages;
- a copy of an identity document;
- a power of attorney if a representative applies.
What to expect
The Commission says whether data exist if the source country does not object to disclosure. In some cases the reply is limited. That is why the request must be drafted carefully, and the next steps thought through in advance.
