How to remove yourself from People-Search.org
People-Search.org is a people-search site that exposes contact history alongside voting, arrest and relationship records. Its opt-out is unusual: instead of a search box, you navigate to your record through alphabetical last-name and first-name indexes, then submit a removal form.
Full name, age and date of birth, phone numbers, previous addresses, aliases, relatives, voting records, arrest and criminal records, marriage and divorce records.
Why removing yourself from People-Search.org matters
On People-Search.org, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull full name, age and date of birth, phone numbers, previous addresses, aliases, relatives, voting records, arrest and criminal records, marriage and divorce records. 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 People-Search.org listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of People-Search.org is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via web form + CAPTCHA, and removals usually process in ~1–2 weeks. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws People-Search.org has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.
How to opt out of People-Search.org, step by step

Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official people-search.org opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: You reach your record through alphabetical name indexes rather than a search box; use a disposable email.
