+NIP-62
+======
+
+Request to Vanish
+-----------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP offers a Nostr-native way to request a complete reset of a key's fingerprint on the web. This procedure is legally binding in some jurisdictions, and thus, supporters of this NIP should truly delete events from their database. 
+
+## Request to Vanish from Relay
+
+Kind `62` requests a specific relay to delete everything, including [NIP-09](09.md) Deletion Events, from the `.pubkey` until its `.created_at`. 
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 62,
+  "pubkey": <32-byte hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "tags": [
+    ["relay", "<relay url>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<reason or note>",
+  //...other fields
+}
+```
+
+The tag list MUST include at least one `relay` value. 
+
+Content MAY include a reason or a legal notice to the relay operator. 
+
+Relays MUST fully delete any events from the `.pubkey` if their service URL is tagged in the event. 
+
+Relays SHOULD delete all [NIP-59](59.md) Gift Wraps that p-tagged the `.pubkey` if their service URL is tagged in the event, deleting all DMs to the pubkey.
+
+Relays MUST ensure the deleted events cannot be re-broadcasted into the relay. 
+
+Relays MAY store the signed request to vanish for bookkeeping.
+
+Paid relays or relays that restrict who can post MUST also follow the request to vanish regardless of the user's status. 
+
+Publishing a deletion request event (Kind `5`) against a request to vanish has no effect. Clients and relays are not obliged to support "unrequest vanish" functionality.
+
+Clients SHOULD send this event to the target relays only. 
+
+## Global Request to Vanish
+
+To request ALL relays to delete everything, the event MUST include a `relay` tag with the value `ALL_RELAYS` in uppercase. 
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 62,
+  "pubkey": <32-byte hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "tags": [
+    ["relay", "ALL_RELAYS"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<reason>",
+  //...other fields
+}
+```
+
+Clients SHOULD broadcast this event to as many relays as possible.
