Who Is LexisNexis?
LexisNexis is not just a legal research platform, it is one of the largest data brokers in the world through its Risk Solutions division. LexisNexis Risk Solutions holds records on virtually every US adult, including driving records, insurance claims history, credit activity, public records, and property ownership. This data is sold to insurance companies, financial institutions, law enforcement, landlords, and employers for background screening and risk assessment.
Two Separate Opt-Out Paths
LexisNexis has two distinct systems requiring separate opt-out requests:
- LexisNexis Risk Solutions (the data broker division): Submit a consumer opt-out request at consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer. This covers the databases sold to insurance companies, employers, and background check services. You can also first request a free Consumer Disclosure Report to see what data they hold.
- LexisNexis.com (legal/news database): This is a separate system used by lawyers and researchers. Submit a CCPA or GDPR data subject access/deletion request through their privacy center at lexisnexis.com/privacy.
ID Requirements
LexisNexis does require identity documentation for most opt-out requests, specifically to prevent third parties from opting out someone else's record without their consent. Accepted forms include a redacted government-issued photo ID showing name and address (black out the ID number, DOB, and photo for privacy). You can also request suppression through their Information Suppression Program which has specific documentation requirements for at-risk individuals.
What Gets Removed and What Doesn't
What suppression covers: Your record in LexisNexis consumer-facing databases, marketing data, and most commercial data products. Your profile will no longer appear in insurance underwriting queries or typical background checks after suppression is processed (usually 30 days).
What stays: FCRA-regulated data (driving records, credit information, court records) that LexisNexis holds under Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance cannot be deleted under CCPA, these are subject to separate federal rights. Law enforcement access to certain records is also typically unaffected by consumer opt-out requests.
The Faster Alternative: Automated Removal
Instead of navigating complex forms and uploading your ID to verify your identity (which exposes you to more risk), you can send a formal privacy request via email.
