What is Interpol Blue Notice used for?

• A. It alerts an officer to collect additional information about a person's identity or activities in relation to a crime
• B. It functions as an immediate arrest warrant
• C. It automatically triggers extradition
• D. It requests criminal records from the civil registry

Answer: (A)

Blue Notice is an international police request used to collect additional information about a person’s identity, location, or activities in relation to a crime. It helps investigators confirm who someone is, verify aliases, or learn where they have been or might be traveling by prompting member nations to share relevant details with the requesting country. It is not an arrest warrant and does not authorize detention, it does not automatically trigger extradition, and it isn’t a direct request for criminal records. Its purpose is to aid investigations across borders by gathering more context and identity information.
