Palpagos Island seems like a lawless jungle where the Pals run wild, and there is no sense of order for humans. However, the truth of the matter is quite different, and if you're someone with criminal tendencies, you'll find out soon enough. It's possible to become a wanted criminal in Palworld, and you need to know how to remove wanted status.
Getting rid of the wanted status in Palworld is important because otherwise, you'll end up being killed by the local police force. They're no joke either, so you better be prepared if you're going to go around breaking the rules on your way to filling the Paldeck.
While you're running from the police, you should try learning how to ride Pals or how to craft a glider in order to have an easier time escaping.
What is wanted level in Palworld?
Palpagos Island has a dedicated police force called the Palpagos Island Defense Force(PIDF for short), and they will begin chasing you if you break the law. Breaking the law includes attacking the local residents or any innocent Island dweller minding their business.
You can also become wanted if you enter restricted areas on the island. You can see the wanted status on the top right of your screen alongside the charges against you. The higher the charges the tougher your chase will be.

They will usually appear at around level 30 and can make quick work of anyone who isn't prepared for their assault. So you should get rid of the wanted status as soon as possible to evade capture.
How to remove wanted status in Palworld
There are only two ways to get rid of the wanted status in Palworld. The first is to simply let the PIDF kill you. This method is quicker, and you can always return to collect your belongings later. However, if any modifiers are involved or your location is far from any fast travel point, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
The second option is to keep running away from them till they give up pursuit. This is easier said than done, though. Even if you fast-travel away, PIDF officers will spawn near you and continue chasing you down. They're all quite fast, and their ranged weapons pack a punch.
Fighting back will likely increase your charges and achieve little else. You need to keep running away until they give up the chase, and your charges will fade away automatically.
That's what we know about the wanted status and the crime system in Palworld so far. It shouldn't concern any law-abiding citizens! You should also read about the game's multiplayer and how to breed Pals to expand your collection even further.
