How to remove yourself from BeenVerified
BeenVerified is a people-search site. Sites like this build listings from public records and purchased data, often with your address, age, phone number and relatives. Here's how to ask it to remove you, for free. You don't need Free My ID to do this.
What you'll need
- Your name, as it shows on the listing
- Your state
- An email address for removals (a separate one just for this is best)
- A few minutes to open the email BeenVerified sends and click its link. If you skip this, the request may not go through.
Step by step
Open the opt-out page and type your name and state.
Find your record in the list and click it.
Type your removal email address.
Open the email BeenVerified sends and click its link.
You need to repeat this for each email address you use.
Allow about 7 days, then check again.
Opens www.beenverified.com, BeenVerified's own website.
We haven't been able to check these steps against BeenVerified's live page yet. Sites change their pages often, so if something looks different, follow what the page says.
The BeenVerified removal is also meant to cover: PeopleLooker.
You should never have to pay to be removed. If a people-search site asks for money or your Social Security number, stop.
Or let Free My ID do it
Free My ID opens BeenVerified's removal page in your own browser, with these steps beside it and a Copy button for each box. On sites that allow it, it can fill the boxes in while you watch. You tick any "I'm not a robot" box yourself. Then it checks again later, because sites can list people again.
