How do I remove myself from TruePeopleSearch?

Start on the removal page, not from a search result. Fill in your name and an email you can open right away, and pass the CAPTCHA. TruePeopleSearch emails you a link to the actual opt-out form. Current guides say it expires after 24 hours. Use that form to find and remove your record.

How long does the TruePeopleSearch opt-out take?

TruePeopleSearch doesn't publish one. Guides report a few days.

Can my information come back on TruePeopleSearch?

Likely. Guides recommend checking again every few months.

Good to know

Older guides tell you to search, open View Details and click Remove This Record. The flow has changed since.
The site blocks visitors from outside the US, so these steps come from current removal guides rather than the page itself.

Then get it out of Google too

Opting out removes the listing from TruePeopleSearch, but Google can keep showing an old copy for a while. Google's Results about you tool lets you ask for those results to be dropped, and it can tell you when new ones appear.

How we checked this

truepeoplesearch.com blocks visitors from outside the US, so we couldn't read its opt-out page directly. The steps above are cross-checked against several removal guides updated in 2026, and we've left out details they disagree on. If the form looks different when you get there, follow what the page says.
