How to Remove Yourself From BeenVerified


BeenVerified is a background-check and people-search service that sells detailed reports assembled from public records. Opting out is free and takes a few minutes — but remember to check its sister sites too.

What BeenVerified exposes

Name and aliases · current and past addresses · phone numbers · email addresses · age · relatives · and public-record details pulled into a report.

How to opt out of BeenVerified (step by step)

  1. Go to the opt-out search page: beenverified.com/app/optout/search
  2. Search by your first name, last name, and state to find your record.
  3. Locate the listing that matches you and click Proceed to Opt Out.
  4. Enter your email address and complete the CAPTCHA.
  5. Open the verification email from BeenVerified and click the confirmation link to finalize.
Verification Email confirmation link. No ID and no account required.
Timeframe Typically about 24–72 hours.
Cost Free — you never pay to remove your own listing

Gotchas

  • Check the sister sites. BeenVerified is part of a family of people-search brands (including PeopleLooker, NeighborWho, and Ownerly) that maintain their own listings — opting out of one does not necessarily clear the others. Search and opt out of each separately.
  • Multiple listings. You may have more than one record; repeat for each.
  • It reappears. Like all brokers, BeenVerified refreshes from public records, so re-check periodically.

FAQ

Is the BeenVerified opt-out free?
Yes.
Do I need to create an account?

Does one opt-out cover PeopleLooker and Ownerly?
Not reliably — handle those separately.
