How to remove yourself from Spokeo

How to opt out of Spokeo

1. Search your name on Spokeo and open your listing. Copy the profile page's web address.
2. Go to the opt-out page (link below). Paste in your profile address and your email.
3. Solve the CAPTCHA and submit the form.
4. Open the confirmation email from Spokeo and click the link inside — the request is not final until you do.
5. Repeat for each address you've lived at. Spokeo keeps a separate listing per address.

What Spokeo collects

Current and past addresses, phone numbers, possible relatives, and an estimated age.

What we'd tell a friend

One of the more straightforward removals in this set. The catch is that Spokeo keeps a separate listing for each address you've lived at, so a full removal can mean submitting the opt-out more than once.

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.
