How to opt out of NeighborWho and remove your name

5 minutes easy difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

NeighborWho is address-first: it builds pages about properties, with the people attached. Its opt-out link redirects to BeenVerified, which processes the request, so what you are really doing is a BeenVerified suppression reached through a different front door.

NeighborWho's opt-out requests are processed on BeenVerified's system, so one request can cover more than one site. Check both afterwards rather than assuming.

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

Good to know

Because BeenVerified handles this, check our BeenVerified guide too - the same suppression can affect several sites in that family.
Being address-keyed means you can appear on pages about a property you left years ago, so search old addresses as well as your name.

Removal clears the records held at the time. New public-record and directory batches can rebuild a listing later, so re-search your name every few months and repeat the request for anything new.

NeighborWho opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from NeighborWho?

Open NeighborWho's opt-out page at beenverified.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 NeighborWho opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes. After that, NeighborWho typically removes the listing within about 24 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 NeighborWho opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. Removal clears the records held at the time. New public-record and directory batches can rebuild a listing later, so re-search your name every few months and repeat the request for anything new. 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 NeighborWho?

No. NeighborWho'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 NeighborWho?

Yes. NeighborWho'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 NeighborWho show about me?

A typical NeighborWho listing can include full name, property and address history, phone numbers, and relatives and neighbours. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does NeighborWho 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 NeighborWho a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
