How to Remove Yourself from FastPeopleSearch (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: Go to https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/removal, find your listing and click the red “Remove My Record” button, then click the button in the verification email titled “Opt out request for FastPeopleSearch.com.” Free, about 10 minutes. Listings usually come down within 72 hours, often within the first hour.

What is FastPeopleSearch?

FastPeopleSearch is a people search site that builds free profiles from public records. A listing can include a person’s full name and past names, age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and the names of relatives, neighbors, and associates. Like TruePeopleSearch, it is free and requires no account, so it is one of the first places someone lands when they look a person up. For older adults, that is the problem: a caller who already knows your mom’s age, street address, and phone number sounds believable, and that is how many scams start.

Before you start

Set aside about 10 minutes. Removal costs nothing, and anyone who charges for it is selling a service you can do yourself in less time. Fair warning about the bigger job: a full cleanup covers more than twenty sites like this one, and every broker hides its form in a different place and verifies you a different way.

You will need:

• A web browser
• An email address you can check right away (a personal Gmail or Outlook address tends to receive the verification email more reliably than a work address)
• The full name plus city and state, or the phone number, for the listing

Doing this for a parent? Get their permission first, since the agreement checkbox covers removing a record for someone who has authorized you. Then enjoy the result together: fewer spam calls interrupting their day, thinner junk mail, and fewer scam texts to worry about.

How to opt out of FastPeopleSearch

1. Go to https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/removal. You may see a quick Cloudflare check to prove you are not a robot.
2. Enter your email address in the “Email” box.
3. Check the box that says “I agree that I am the subject of the record I am requesting to be removed, or the subject has authorized me to have it removed for them.”
4. Complete the reCAPTCHA and click “Begin Removal Process.”
5. Search for the listing. Searching by name works best. Enter the first and last name, plus city and state or ZIP code, then click “Free Search.”
6. Find the correct listing in the results and click “View Free Details.”
7. On the listing page, click the red “Remove My Record” button. Do not click “View Full Background Report.” That is an ad, not part of the removal.
8. Check your inbox for an email titled “Opt out request for FastPeopleSearch.com” and click the button inside. You should see a page that says “Record Removal Complete.” Check your spam folder if the email does not show up.
9. If you found more than one listing, repeat steps 5 through 8 for each one.

How long it takes

FastPeopleSearch says removal can take up to 72 hours. Most listings actually come down much faster, often within about an hour of clicking the confirmation link. You will not get a follow-up email when it is done, so after a day or two, search the site again to confirm the listing is gone.

Check back in a few months

FastPeopleSearch refreshes its database from public records and other sources on a rolling basis, so a new record can bring your listing back even after a successful opt-out. Keeping an entire broker list clean by hand means circling back to all of it about once a quarter. KinKeeper’s Data Removal closes that loop, handling each removal for you and re-checking every site on a 90-day cycle.
