Opt-out guide

How to opt out of Innovis and remove your name

5 to 10 minutes easy difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

Innovis is the credit bureau almost nobody has heard of, and that is the point of this page. The FTC names it alongside Equifax, Experian and TransUnion as a bureau that supplies prescreen lists, so a removal effort that covers only the famous three leaves a fourth file untouched.

Innovis's opt-out requests are processed on OptOutPrescreen, jointly run by all four credit bureaus's system, so one request can cover more than one site. Check both afterwards rather than assuming.

Wondering whether Innovis is even legitimate first? Read our honest Innovis check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.

Step-by-step removal

1
Know that it counts as a bureau
The FTC lists Innovis with the other three as a source of prescreened offer lists. It is sometimes called the fourth bureau, and it is not a data broker in the people-search sense.
2
Use the joint opt-out
Go to optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT. Innovis is one of the four operators of that site, so a single request covers it along with the others.
3
Or use Innovis directly
Innovis publishes its own opt-out and opt-in page at innovis.com/personal/optOutOptIn if you would rather deal with the company itself.
4
Post a request if you prefer
Written requests go to Innovis Consumer Services, P.O. Box 6980, Dallas, TX 75270. A letter is slower but leaves you a dated record of what you asked for.
5
Request your Innovis file separately
Opting out of offers is not the same as seeing what Innovis holds. As a consumer reporting agency it must provide you a disclosure of your file, which is a separate request.

Good to know

This is a marketing opt-out, not a security freeze. It does not stop new accounts being opened in your name, and it does nothing to the contents of your credit report. A freeze is a separate, free request made to each bureau.
Because Innovis is less well known, it is routinely left out of both DIY checklists and paid removal services. Worth confirming rather than assuming yours covered it.
One joint request at optoutprescreen.com genuinely covers all four bureaus, so there is no need to repeat it per company.

As with the other bureaus, a five-year opt-out lapses without warning unless you completed and returned the permanent form.

Innovis opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from Innovis?

Open Innovis's opt-out page at innovis.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. No separate confirmation step is required. The whole process takes about 5 to 10 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the Innovis opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 to 10 minutes. After that, Innovis typically removes the listing within processed within five days, though offers can keep arriving for weeks. 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 Innovis opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. As with the other bureaus, a five-year opt-out lapses without warning unless you completed and returned the permanent form. 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 Innovis?

No. Innovis'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 Innovis?

Yes. Innovis'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 Innovis show about me?

A typical Innovis listing can include credit account and payment history, name, address history and date of birth, and prescreen eligibility lists sold to lenders and insurers. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.
