How to opt out of Ownerly and remove your name

10 minutes medium difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

Ownerly is a property-value site, so its opt-out is keyed to an address rather than to a person, and the flow asks for the full address on the listing rather than your name. Optery describes Ownerly as an affiliate company of BeenVerified, and its opt-out is processed on BeenVerified's system.

Ownerly'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.

Good to know

The property route is a different form from the standard people search - picking the wrong one is the usual reason an Ownerly opt-out goes nowhere.
If you have moved, the listing that names you may be attached to a previous address rather than your current one.

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.

Ownerly opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from Ownerly?

Open Ownerly'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 10 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the Ownerly opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 10 minutes. After that, Ownerly 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 Ownerly 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 Ownerly?

No. Ownerly'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 Ownerly?

Yes. Ownerly'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 Ownerly show about me?

A typical Ownerly listing can include full name, home value and property records, address history, and names attached to a property. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

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