TL;DR: Go to usa-people-search.com/manage, enter your email, click the confirmation link it sends, then enter the personal information you want removed and submit. Cloaked’s guide says removal happens within three days. Search again afterwards and repeat for any other listings.
What it is
USA People Search is one of the many free-to-search, pay-for-more people finders. Results typically show name, age, current and past addresses, phone numbers and relatives. It’s part of the long tail of sites you’ll find when you google yourself properly.
Step by step
From Cloaked’s manual opt-out guide:
- Go to usa-people-search.com/manage.
- Enter your email address to start.
- Open the confirmation email and click the link.
- Enter the personal information you want removed and submit.
Timeline: within 3 days of submission.
Tips
- Use an email you can access; an alias keeps your main inbox out of broker databases.
- Enter details that match the listing (name variants, old addresses) so the right record is removed.
- Search again in a private window after three days.
- Recheck every few months; data brokers refresh.
A second walkthrough, and what the site shows
DeleteMe’s USA People Search guide (updated September 2026) describes the route from the site footer:
- Click "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" at the bottom of usa-people-search.com.
- Enter your email, tick the two boxes, complete the CAPTCHA and click "Begin Removal Process".
- Search your full name, city and state, click "View Details" on your listing, then "Remove Record".
- Click the link in the confirmation email. It expires after 24 hours, so do it straight away.
The site says removals are processed within 72 hours. A free listing typically shows your name and aliases, age, current and past phone numbers and addresses, and relatives and associates. It links to a paid site for full background reports.
DeleteMe also notes that if you’re on USA People Search you’re probably on 411.com too, and that records can reappear as the site re-collects public data. Put a reminder in your calendar to search again in three months.
The rest of the list
USA People Search is a smaller site, so do the big ones first: Whitepages, Spokeo, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch and BeenVerified. California residents can use the state’s DROP tool to reach registered brokers in one go. And a free email exposure check covers breach data.
