How to opt out of TruthRecord and remove your name

5 minutes easy difficultyLast verified August 2, 2026

TruthRecord's removal form is real but well hidden: the site is a JavaScript application, so the removal link does not appear in the page source at all and only exists once the page has rendered in a browser. The route is labelled "Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Info" rather than anything containing the word removal, which is why it is easy to miss.

Step-by-step removal

1
Open the removal form directly
Go to truthrecord.org/api/helper/optOutLight/search. The page is headed "Remove My Information". You can also reach it from the site footer, where it is labelled "Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Info".
2
Enter the name and state
The form asks for the name and the state of the record you want removed, then locates the matching listing.
3
Select your record
Choose the listing that is actually yours from the results before submitting.
4
Submit the request
Complete the removal request for that record. No account and no payment are required.
5
Re-search with a cleared cache
TruthRecord publishes no completion time, so verify it yourself after a few days. Clear your cache first, or a cached page will make a successful removal look like it failed.

Good to know

The same form is reachable from the footer link "Limit The Use of My Sensitive Personal Info". Both point at the same removal tool.
TruthRecord states it is not a consumer reporting agency and that its data must not be used for decisions covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act - so a listing here is not something an employer or landlord may lawfully screen you on.
The site gates entry behind an agreement screen before you can search, which is worth expecting rather than being surprised by.
Because the site renders entirely in JavaScript, removal-guide directories that crawl HTML tend to report TruthRecord as having no opt-out at all. It does.

TruthRecord aggregates criminal, property and civil-judgment records that remain public at their source. Removing the listing does not touch those sources, and a later refresh can rebuild it.

TruthRecord opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from TruthRecord?

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

How long does the TruthRecord opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes. After that, TruthRecord typically removes the listing within Not stated by TruthRecord. 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 TruthRecord opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. TruthRecord aggregates criminal, property and civil-judgment records that remain public at their source. Removing the listing does not touch those sources, and a later refresh can rebuild it. 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 TruthRecord?

No. TruthRecord'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 TruthRecord?

Yes. TruthRecord'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 TruthRecord show about me?

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