How to Opt Out of BeenVerified & Remove Your Info (2026)
Step-by-step guide to opting out of BeenVerified — remove your name, address and phone from its background reports, and keep the listing from coming back.
BeenVerified is a popular background-report service that publishes your name, address history, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, and public-record details. If you don't want to be searchable there, BeenVerified offers a free opt-out. Here's how to do it.
First, find your listing
You'll need to locate your BeenVerified record to remove it. A free personal-data exposure report is the fastest way to confirm you're listed — and to see the 1,000+ other data brokers that list you at the same time, so you can clear them together.
How to opt out of BeenVerified, step by step
- Go to BeenVerified's opt-out page at beenverified.com/app/optout/search.
- Search your first and last name (add your state to narrow it down).
- Find the listing that matches you and click to select it.
- Enter an email address for confirmation and submit the request.
- Open the verification email from BeenVerified and click the link — the opt-out only finalizes after this.
If you find more than one record (common after a move), remove each one separately.
The listing can come back
A BeenVerified opt-out removes your current record, but the company continually rebuilds from public data. Your information can resurface months later, so treat this as maintenance, not a one-and-done fix.
Remove yourself from every broker — and stay off
BeenVerified is one of more than a thousand sites that list you. To clear them all and stay clear:
- Free, guided: use your exposure report and follow the ranked removal plan — each site, BeenVerified included, comes with a direct opt-out link.
- Automatic & recurring (FaceSeek done-for-you): FaceSeek files the requests across the full broker registry, then automatically re-checks every month and re-files anything — BeenVerified included — that reappears.
Opting out of BeenVerified is a solid first step. For the complete process, see our guide to removing your personal information from the internet.
Frequently asked questions
Is BeenVerified opt-out free?
Yes. BeenVerified provides a free opt-out for your own record. You search for yourself, select your listing, and confirm by email — no paid subscription required.
How long does BeenVerified take to remove a listing?
BeenVerified usually processes verified opt-out requests within about 24 hours to a few days. The request only completes after you click the confirmation link in the email they send.
Does BeenVerified share data with other sites?
BeenVerified operates its own listings, but the same public-record data feeds many brokers. Opting out of BeenVerified doesn't touch the others, so you'll still appear on separate sites until you opt out of each.
Will BeenVerified relist me?
It can. Like all people-search sites, BeenVerified refreshes from public records, so a removed listing may return later. Periodic re-checks — or a service that re-files monthly — keep you suppressed.
