Please note: Georgia law requires that the person requesting removal of a booking photo send written correspondence with name, DOB, arrest date, and arresting agency to the publication. This must be done via certified mail, return receipt requested, or statutory overnight delivery. The publication then has 30 days to remove the photo.
As a courtesy, TGV accepts these requests via email to expedite the removal process. In order to do this, all of the above information must be included in the request.
