How to Request Removal of Personal Information from Dorchester County Court Records Online
Found sensitive personal information in a record image on Dorchester County's public online index? You can request its removal. Submit your request to the Dorchester County register of deeds or the clerk of court - they handle removing specific personal identifiers from record images posted online.
This process covers high-risk identifiers - the kind used for identity theft or unauthorized account access. You can request removal of Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, state identification numbers, passport numbers, and financial account numbers (checking, savings, credit card, or debit card). PIN codes and passwords are also eligible if they appear in the record image.
Starting a redaction request requires a written submission. You can deliver it by mail, fax, electronic transmission, or in person.
Address your request to the Dorchester County register of deeds or the clerk of court. Be specific about what needs to be removed so staff can redact the correct information from the online image.
Dorchester County does not charge a fee to perform a redaction when you submit a request through this process.
Note: The available guidance confirms what identifiers can be removed, that your request must be in writing (with several delivery options), and that there’s no fee. It does not spell out timelines, an appeal process, or a required template, so those details aren’t included here.
