How to opt out of StateRecords.org and remove your name
StateRecords.org presents itself as a public-records portal rather than a people-search site, which is a distinction without much difference once your name and address history are on a page anyone can read. Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia get a separate state-rights route with more force behind it.
Wondering whether StateRecords.org is even legitimate first? Read our honest StateRecords.org check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.
What StateRecords.org exposes
- Full name and age
- Address history

Good to know
- Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia should use the state-specific route instead - it is a legal request with deadlines rather than a voluntary suppression.
- A public-records framing does not change your rights; the site is still a data broker for opt-out purposes.
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.
