How to remove yourself from LexisNexis
LexisNexis is a major data broker whose products span marketing, identity and risk. You can opt out of its non-FCRA people-search and marketing data, but note that some LexisNexis products are FCRA-regulated (used for credit/employment screening) and can’t simply be suppressed — those have separate dispute rights.
Contact and address history, relatives, and data used in risk, identity and people-search products.
Why removing yourself from LexisNexis matters
On LexisNexis, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull contact and address history, relatives, and data used in risk, identity and people-search products. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your LexisNexis listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of LexisNexis is more involved than most opt-outs — it works via opt-out form (identity verification), and removal times vary. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws LexisNexis has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Because LexisNexis is one of the more stubborn sites to remove from, keep a copy of your request and be ready to follow up if your profile reappears.
How to opt out of LexisNexis, step by step
Go to optout.lexisnexis.com and choose the personal-information opt-out.
Complete the form with the identifying details it asks for (used to locate and verify your record).
Submit the request; LexisNexis processes and confirms removal of eligible (non-FCRA) data.
Keep a copy — for FCRA products (e.g., consumer reports), use LexisNexis’s separate consumer-disclosure/dispute process instead.
Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official lexisnexis.com opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: Don’t confuse the people-search/marketing opt-out with FCRA consumer reports. The opt-out covers the former; the latter is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and handled through a different request.
