How to remove yourself from US Search
US Search is one of the oldest people-search brands and part of the PeopleConnect network. Its listings are basic contact-and-relatives records, and removal is the same quick suppression flow shared across PeopleConnect sites.
Contact information, age, address history, relatives and associates.
Why removing yourself from US Search matters
On US Search, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull contact information, age, address history, relatives and associates. 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 US Search listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of US Search is quick and straightforward — it works via web form (PeopleConnect suppression), and removals usually process in ~48–72 hours. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws US Search has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Most people finish it in just a few minutes.
