If I get a protection order, will it show up in an internet search?

According to federal law, which covers all states, territories, and tribal lands, courts are not supposed to publish online any information that could likely reveal your identity or location. This applies to all of these documents:

  • the petition you file;
  • the protection order, restraining order, or injunction that was issued by the court; or
  • the registration of an order in a different state.1

1 18 U.S.C. § 2265(d)(3)
