How to remove yourself from BeenVerified

BeenVerified lists your age, emails, phones, and social profiles. Here is how to opt out.

BeenVerified's opt-out is a self-serve web form — no phone call or manual review required.

How to opt out of BeenVerified

  1. Go to the opt-out page (link below). Enter your full name and state, then search.
  2. Find your listing and click "Proceed to opt out."
  3. Enter your email and solve the CAPTCHA, then send the verification email.
  4. Open the email from BeenVerified and click "Verify opt-out" to confirm.
  5. Search again for records under your phone number and email — BeenVerified files those separately, so you may have more than one.

What BeenVerified collects

Age, email addresses, phone numbers, and linked social profiles.

What we'd tell a friend

Faster than most on this list. The one thing people miss: BeenVerified keeps separate records under your phone number and email, so search more than once to catch them all.

Why this can come back

Most people-search and aggregator sites re-crawl their public-record sources on a rolling basis. An opt-out removes today's listing; it doesn't stop the site from re-pulling your record the next time it refreshes. That's the reason removal is something you check on periodically, not a one-time task — see our full removal guide for the re-listing mechanics in detail.

Frequently asked questions

How long does BeenVerified removal take? #
BeenVerified says your listing should be gone within about 24 hours of clicking the verification link it emails you. The confirmation email itself can take a few minutes to arrive.
Will my BeenVerified listing come back? #
It can. BeenVerified refreshes its data from public sources, so a new listing can appear later. Re-check every few months and opt out again if needed.
