How to remove yourself from PeopleSearchNow
PeopleSearchNow 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
- An email address for removals (a separate one just for this is best)
- A few minutes to open the email PeopleSearchNow sends and click its link. If you skip this, the request may not go through.
- A picture puzzle ("I'm not a robot") you solve yourself
Step by step
Open the opt-out page. Choose 'The subject of the request' (that is you).
Type your first name, last name and removal email.
Solve the picture puzzle (captcha) and press Begin Removal Process.
Open the email within 24 hours and click its link.
Enter the record details as the site shows them. Allow up to 3 days.
Allow about 3 days, then check again.
Opens www.peoplesearchnow.com, PeopleSearchNow's own website.

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 PeopleSearchNow'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.
