You have to think about what this is affecting. Its not the outlaw but the gods he worships. It's like the old Excommunication ritual from Runequest (or the Outlaw Divine spell from MRQ). They don't need you present to use it. They just need to tell the gods you are unacceptable - they are not acting on the outlaw, they are informing the gods. A theistic APB on someone who is no longer welcome in the pantheon as well as unwelcome in society at large.
