How to Remove Your Information from TruePeopleSearch

TruePeopleSearch.com offers a removal request for its public-record listings. truepeoplesearch.net is a separate site with its own removal page, so removing yourself from one does nothing for the other.

Last checked: October 2026 · Opt-out steps checked against each site's own removal page

Quick overview

  • truepeoplesearch.net is a separate site with its own removal page, so a removal on the .com site doesn't cover it.
  • The .com removal request asks for your name and email, then sends a link to the opt-out form, with no payment or ID. The site says to allow 3 days.
  • Removing yourself from the .com site does nothing for the .net site, which has its own Remove My Info page.
  • The site's pages don't say whether a removed listing can return, so search your name again afterward.

What is TruePeopleSearch — and the .com vs .net difference

TruePeopleSearch.com is a free people-search site publishing public-record listings — addresses, phone numbers, and relatives. It isn't part of the PeopleConnect family that owns Intelius and TruthFinder.

truepeoplesearch.net is a different site despite the near-identical name, with its own Remove My Info page.

How to remove yourself from TruePeopleSearch.com

These steps follow TruePeopleSearch's own Do Not Sell/Right to Opt-out page, checked in October 2026. They apply only to truepeoplesearch.com. A listing on truepeoplesearch.net is a separate matter, covered below.

  1. 1

    Request the opt-out link

    At truepeoplesearch.com/removal, choose "The subject of the request," enter your first and last name (middle name is optional) and your email, tick the authorization box, complete the hCaptcha and press Send Request.

  2. 2

    Click the link in your email

    TruePeopleSearch emails you a link to the opt-out form. It may take some time to arrive, and if you wait more than 24 hours to click it, you need to request a new one.

  3. 3

    Fill in the opt-out form

    Enter your information so that it matches the record you want removed.

  4. 4

    Check for the confirmation

    You get a confirmation page and a confirmation email. TruePeopleSearch says to allow 3 days for the record to be fully removed.

TruePeopleSearch says that omitting or inaccurate details only hinder the opt-out, and that it won't use what you provide for anything other than processing your request.

If you're also listed on truepeoplesearch.net

The .net site has its own Remove My Info page at truepeoplesearch.net/remove-my-info. You submit your request through the form on that page, and it says records are removed shortly after, which may take up to 48 hours, and questions go to [email protected].

That page says it can only remove public records from its own website, that your name may still appear as a possible relative or associate in other people's reports, and that it doesn't remove sex offender location data. If you have several reports, it asks for a separate request for each.

Notice: TruePeopleSearch usually isn't the only place this kind of information about you shows up — the same details often turn up on other data-broker and people-search sites too. A quick, no-cost check of the major data-broker sites will tell you where else this same information shows up.

If you still see a listing

A common source of frustration with this site isn't the .com opt-out failing. It's finding a nearly identical listing still live on truepeoplesearch.net afterward. That's not a failed removal; it's a different site, and it needs its own removal request.

If the listing comes back, or you're on several of these sites, our Data Broker Removal service handles the opt-outs for you, and Privacy Monitoring re-checks the sites so a returning listing is caught early.

Common questions

Does TruePeopleSearch charge a fee to opt out?

The request page at truepeoplesearch.com/removal doesn't ask for payment or ID. It asks for your name and email and a CAPTCHA, then emails you a link to the opt-out form. TruePeopleSearch says to click that link within 24 hours and to allow 3 days for the record to be removed.

Will my information come back after I opt out?

TruePeopleSearch's removal pages don't say whether a removed listing can return, so search your name again after the removal window has passed. A .com opt-out also doesn't cover the separate .net site, which needs its own removal request.

Do I pay if my listing isn't removed?

Opting out yourself is free. Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed.
