HomeTravel Advice During Active Red Notice for Family Member
A client sought legal advice on how to travel safely while challenging an active INTERPOL Red Notice issued against his ex-wife, affecting his family-related international obligations.
Case Overview
A client reached out for urgent legal assistance regarding an active INTERPOL Red Notice issued against his ex-wife by the Indian authorities. Although the client himself was not the subject of the notice, he was directly affected by its consequences, particularly concerning international travel with their child and family-related obligations abroad.
At the time of contacting us, the client was already pursuing a court appeal in India to challenge the legitimacy of the Red Notice. However, he needed immediate legal guidance on how to travel safely while the appeal process was still ongoing and the Red Notice remained visible in the INTERPOL database.
Legal Support During Red Notice Proceedings
Red Notices often have significant practical implications — even for individuals not named in them. In this case, the client’s ex-wife’s notice created potential complications at borders and airports, and raised questions about his own freedom of movement, especially when traveling with dependents.
Our team, led by Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi, carefully analyzed the legal landscape of countries the client intended to visit, assessing their likely responses to Red Notices and whether they enforced them strictly. We also provided guidance on travel documentation, proactive legal notifications, and safe jurisdictions to avoid undue detainment or questioning.
As part of the service, we also prepared a legal advisory letter that the client could present at border control if needed, affirming his non-involvement in the notice and explaining the status of the ongoing legal proceedings in India.
In parallel, we advised on the procedural aspects of Interpol Red Notices Removal, supporting the client with steps to strengthen the main appeal and anticipate possible data challenges within INTERPOL systems.
Result
The client was equipped with a detailed travel advisory strategy, minimizing the risk of disruptions during international movements. Legal documentation was issued to prevent misunderstandings at checkpoints, and his appeal in India continued with enhanced preparation. Thanks to timely legal counsel, the client was able to travel safely while the Red Notice was still active — without compromising the long-term goal of full removal.
