FastPeopleSearch is a sister-style free people-search site that displays full records without a paywall. Its opt-out is email-only and quick; the only snag is a finicky CAPTCHA that may take a couple of tries.

Good to know

No account is needed; email verification alone finalizes the request.
The CAPTCHA can be finicky and may need several tries.
If you have more than one listing, repeat the process for each separate record.

Listings can reappear because the site continually re-scrapes public records and aggregator feeds, so re-check periodically and re-submit if your record returns.

FastPeopleSearch opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from FastPeopleSearch?

Open FastPeopleSearch's opt-out page at fastpeoplesearch.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. You then confirm the request by clicking a link that arrives by email. The whole process takes about 5 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the FastPeopleSearch opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes. After that, FastPeopleSearch typically removes the listing within up to 72 hours. If your profile is still visible after that window, search your name again - you may have a second listing that needs its own request.

Is the FastPeopleSearch opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. Listings can reappear because the site continually re-scrapes public records and aggregator feeds, so re-check periodically and re-submit if your record returns. Treat removal as maintenance rather than a one-time fix: re-search your name every few months and repeat the opt-out for anything new.

Do I need an account to opt out of FastPeopleSearch?

No. FastPeopleSearch's opt-out works without registering or signing in, and you never need to pay. If something asks you for card details to remove your data, you are not on the real opt-out page.

Is it free to remove my information from FastPeopleSearch?

Yes. FastPeopleSearch's opt-out is free, and so is every other major US people-search opt-out. Paid removal services are worth considering for the volume of sites they cover and the re-checking they do, but they file these same free requests on your behalf - they do not unlock anything you cannot do yourself.

What does FastPeopleSearch show about me?

A typical FastPeopleSearch listing can include full name, aliases, and age, current and past addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, and relatives and associates. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does FastPeopleSearch need my email address to remove my data?

It uses the email only to confirm that the request came from you, which stops strangers from deleting each other's listings. Consider using an alias address if you would rather not hand FastPeopleSearch a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
