Good to know

You can also find your listing first by searching your phone number or name, then choosing remove.
The confirmation link expires in 24 hours - if you miss it, restart the process.
Sources differ on whether the path is /opt-out or /removal; both reach the form, as does the footer Do Not Sell link.

Re-listings are common because USPhoneBook re-scrapes public records on a rolling basis, so profiles can resurface weeks or months later; re-check and re-submit periodically.

USPhoneBook opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from USPhoneBook?

Open USPhoneBook's opt-out page at usphonebook.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 to 10 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the USPhoneBook opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 to 10 minutes. After that, USPhoneBook typically removes the listing within within 72 hours of email verification. 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 USPhoneBook opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. Re-listings are common because USPhoneBook re-scrapes public records on a rolling basis, so profiles can resurface weeks or months later; re-check and re-submit periodically. 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 USPhoneBook?

No. USPhoneBook'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 USPhoneBook?

Yes. USPhoneBook'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 USPhoneBook show about me?

A typical USPhoneBook listing can include full name and age, phone numbers, current and past addresses, and relatives. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

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