Find your record in the results and click the "Proceed to Opt Out" button next to it. If you see multiple records for yourself, you will need to opt out of each one separately.

How Long Does BeenVerified Removal Take?
What Documents BeenVerified May Request
No government ID required
- •Email address (for confirmation link)
- •First name, last name, and state (to locate your record)
⚠️ Safety note on ID uploads
BeenVerified does not require a government ID for standard opt-out requests. The process only requires your email address for verification. If you receive an email from BeenVerified asking for an ID, do not respond, this is not part of their standard process.
What to Do If BeenVerified Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If you did not receive the confirmation email within 10 minutes, check your spam folder. Try re-submitting the opt-out request with a different email address (Gmail tends to work best).
If your record reappears after removal, re-submit the opt-out. BeenVerified refreshes its database regularly. Also check sister sites PeopleLooker (peoplelooker.com/opt-out) and NeighborWho (neighborwho.com/opt-out) as they share the same database.
If BeenVerified is unresponsive, email privacy@beenverified.com with the subject line "CCPA Deletion Request" and include your full name, state, and the URL of your record.
