Florida question about court terminology and records.
I completed misdemeanor probation successfully, paid all fees, and later received written confirmation from probation that the charges were dropped and that I’m eligible to begin the expungement process.
I’m now trying to:
request removal from a mugshot website, and
begin expungement paperwork.
However, I noticed I never received a formal court document saying “dismissed,” and when I search the public clerk portal, I cannot find the case anymore.
For people familiar with Florida court procedure:
Is “charges dropped” usually reflected as a dismissal, nolle prosequi, or something else on the final disposition?
What is the exact name of the document people usually request from the clerk for expungement/mugshot removal purposes?
Is it common for cases to disappear from public search after disposition even before expungement is finalized?
Not seeking representation or case-specific legal advice — mostly trying to understand the terminology and procedural flow correctly.

My Bumble account was suddenly blocked for having an “inauthentic profile.” The message said it could involve catfishing, impersonation, using someone else’s photos, heavily edited photos, misrepresenting identity details, etc.

I’m confused because all the photos on my profile are actually me. The only thing I can think of is that one photo may have had a filter, and my appearance can vary depending on makeup, hair, and presentation. I’m a trans woman, so I can look more feminine in some photos and more masculine in person or without makeup — but I wasn’t impersonating anyone or using fake photos.

I contacted Bumble support through Facebook/Messenger and asked for a re-review. They said I can complete photo or ID verification and that they’d escalate it to Trust & Safety.

Has anyone else been blocked for this and successfully gotten their account back? Did Facebook support work better than email for you? Also, should I mention being trans in the appeal, or just keep it focused on verification and the fact that all photos are me?
