411.com opt-out in 2026, the short version: 411.com is associated with the Whitepages ecosystem, but confirm the current ownership and route before submitting. Find the exact listing, use the current provider suppression process, complete any verification it requests, and save the confirmation. Do not rely on a fixed turnaround or assume that removal from one service changes unrelated copies.
What is 411.com?
411.com is one of the oldest online phone directories in the US, named after the 4-1-1 directory-assistance number. Today it operates as a front-end for Whitepages, Inc. (Seattle, Washington): searches on 411.com return records from the same database as whitepages.com, and its opt-out process runs entirely through the Whitepages suppression system. A typical 411.com listing shows your full name, age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, and known relatives.
What data does 411.com publish about you?
| Data type | Typically included |
|---|---|
| Full name | Yes |
| Age / age range | Yes |
| Current address | Yes |
| Previous addresses | Yes |
| Phone numbers (landline & mobile) | Yes |

How do I remove myself from 411.com?
- Step 1: Find your listing in an incognito window. Go to 411.com and search your full name plus city and state. Open your listing and copy the full URL from the address bar. Repeat for every listing that matches you, past cities often have their own records.
- Step 2: Open the Whitepages suppression tool. Go to whitepages.com/suppression-requests and paste the listing URL into the form. Because Whitepages powers 411.com, this one tool removes the record from both sites.
- Step 3: Verify with the automated phone call. Enter a phone number you can answer, confirm you are the person in the listing, and click to receive the verification call. A robocall reads nothing to you, instead, a code appears on your screen and you dial it into the call when prompted. No ID upload or account is required.
💡 Tip: If the verification call fails or you cannot receive calls, use the Whitepages help-center contact form instead and choose "I need to edit or remove a listing" from the dropdown.
- Step 4: Re-check the exact listing. Search your name on 411.com again after the provider's stated process or applicable legal response period. If Google still shows a page that is gone or changed, review Google's current personal-information or outdated-content route.
How long does 411.com removal take?

What should I do if 411.com removal fails?
If your listing is still live after 7 days, submit the Whitepages help-center form ("I need to edit or remove a listing"), or send a formal deletion request to Whitepages' privacy team citing California Civil Code § 1798.105 (CCPA) or your own state's privacy law. Whitepages is a registered California data broker and must respond to verified deletion requests within 45 days. Unresolved complaints can be filed with the California Privacy Protection Agency at cppa.ca.gov.
