CCF Online Portal: Revision Application Guide

Begin with the official INTERPOL website

Use the official CCF page to reach the current portal and guidance: How to submit a request. Requests sent by email or post are no longer accepted, except where the Commission finds exceptional circumstances. Do not submit sensitive documents to imitation websites, including this informational one.

Confirm the correct application type

The portal distinguishes requests for access, for correction or deletion, and for revision of a Commission decision. A revision request is governed by Article 42 and needs specific newly discovered factual material.

The initial two-page summary

The CCF's March 2026 portal guidance (section 10.3) says it is mandatory to communicate at least one newly discovered fact, and that at the first step the submitter may attach only one document: a two-page summary succinctly describing the newly discovered fact(s). After its initial review the CCF may request further documents. A summary of arguments of up to ten pages may be provided at that later stage, not before.

A useful summary addresses five points:

1. The fact

   A precise, neutral statement of what has been newly discovered.

2. Discovery date

   When it first became known to the applicant.

3. Earlier position

   Whether and how the fact was absent from the earlier CCF examination.

4. Materiality

   Why it could have affected the earlier conclusion under INTERPOL's rules.

5. Source

   How the fact is supported and can be authenticated.

A planning outline, not an official CCF form and not legal advice.

What not to do

• Do not treat a fresh legal opinion as a new fact.
• Do not submit on a public or unofficial platform.
• Do not rely on email to the CCF instead of the portal under the current rules.
• Do not upload video or audio: INTERPOL lists accepted formats (pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, csv, txt, rtf, html, jpg, jpeg, png, gif).
• Do not contact CCF members directly. INTERPOL states such correspondence will not be considered.

Privacy and authorisation

Applicants can act directly or through an authorised representative under the portal's requirements. Keep your submission confirmation and secure your account credentials. Do not share portal credentials with anyone who is not authorised.
