How to remove your personal info from FastPeopleSearch

What is FastPeopleSearch?

FastPeopleSearch is a free people-search engine that publicly displays full names, phone numbers, email addresses, current and past addresses, and relatives, at no cost to whoever is searching. It is operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC alongside 9 sibling sites including TruePeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, CyberBackgroundChecks, and SmartBackgroundChecks. It is one of the easiest sites to remove yourself from.

Why your data appears on FastPeopleSearch

FastPeopleSearch pulls from voter registration records, property deeds, court filings, and purchases data from commercial aggregators. Its database is shared with sibling sites operated by the same LLC, removing yourself from FastPeopleSearch alone does not clear your record from TruePeopleSearch or the other sibling domains.

Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from FastPeopleSearch

1. Step 1: Find your listing. Go to fastpeoplesearch.com in an incognito window. Search your name and state. There may be multiple records if you have used different phone numbers or lived in multiple cities.
2. Step 2: Open and copy the URL of your profile. Click on your listing to open the detail view. Copy the full URL, for example, fastpeoplesearch.com/name/JOHN-SMITH_SEATTLE-WA_abc123. This URL is required to submit the removal.
3. Step 3: Go to the removal page. Navigate to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal. No account is required. Paste your profile URL into the form.

   💡 Tip: If you have more than one listing, submit each one separately. There is no bulk removal option.

4. Step 4: Enter your email address. Provide a working email address. FastPeopleSearch will send a verification link to this address. Use a secondary email if preferred.
5. Step 5: Click the verification link. Check your inbox immediately, the verification email typically arrives within a few minutes. Click the link inside it. The removal is not processed until you verify.
6. Step 6: Confirm removal after 24–48 hours. Search your name in an incognito browser after 48 hours to confirm the listing is gone. If it persists, re-submit the form.
7. Step 7: Remove from sibling sites. Submit parallel requests to TruePeopleSearch (truepeoplesearch.com/removal), USPhoneBook (usphonebook.com/opt-out), CyberBackgroundChecks (cyberbackgroundchecks.com/removal), and SmartBackgroundChecks (smartbackgroundchecks.com/optout). All share the same parent LLC.
