192.com

The dominant UK people-search directory (~700 million records), compiled from the open electoral register, Companies House, and Land Registry data.

Full definition

192.com is the UK's largest people-search and business-directory service, holding roughly 700 million residential and business records. It assembles its profiles from the open (edited) electoral register, Companies House director filings, HM Land Registry data, and birth/death/marriage records for England and Wales. You can remove yourself using 192.com's online removal-request page, which normally clears your electoral, Companies House, and phone-directory records from the platform within about 48 hours. To stop being re-listed, pair the 192.com removal with an open-register opt-out, otherwise your record returns when 192.com refreshes from the register.
