Request Removal NowWhat is USPhoneBook?
USPhoneBook.com is a free reverse-phone and people-search directory operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC (Sacramento, California). It displays names, addresses, phone numbers, and relative connections. The same operator runs 9 sibling sites: FastPeopleSearch.com, CyberBackgroundChecks.com, AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com, FastBackgroundCheck.com, SmartBackgroundChecks.com, SearchPeopleFree.com, PeopleSearchNow.com, Phonebooks.com, and USA-People-Search.com. Removing yourself from USPhoneBook alone does not clear the sibling sites, each requires a separate request or you can target the parent LLC in one email.
Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from USPhoneBook
- Step 1: Find your listing on USPhoneBook. Go to usphonebook.com in an incognito window. Search your name and state. Note all listings that match your information.
- Step 2: Go to the opt-out page. Navigate to usphonebook.com/opt-out. No account or payment required.
- Step 3: Submit your removal request. Search for your record on the opt-out page. Select your listing and enter your email address for verification. Click submit.
💡 Tip: After removing from USPhoneBook, also submit to FastPeopleSearch (fastpeoplesearch.com/removal) and CyberBackgroundChecks (cyberbackgroundchecks.com/removal), they share the same data but each needs a separate form.
- Step 4: Verify via email. Click the verification link in the confirmation email sent to your address. The removal is not processed until you verify.
- Step 5: Wait 24–48 hours and confirm. USPhoneBook is one of the faster removals. Search your name in an incognito window after 48 hours to confirm the listing is gone.
