How to Remove Your Personal Info from Whitepages (2026 Guide)

Your home address, phone number, and even your relatives' names are likely listed on Whitepages.com right now. Here is how to remove them.

Whitepages is a "people search" engine that aggregates public records. While legal, this data is often used by scammers to build profiles on potential victims. The good news is that you have the legal right to opt out.

Method 1: The Manual Opt-Out (Free)

If you have 15-20 minutes, you can remove your profile manually following these steps:

1. Locate your profile: Go to Whitepages.com and search for your name and city.
2. Copy your unique URL: Click "View Details" on your profile. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar (it should end in a string of numbers).
3. Visit the Opt-Out Page: Go to whitepages.com/suppression_requests.
4. Paste and Verify: Paste your profile URL into the box. You will need to verify your identity via a phone call verification code to prove you are the owner of the record.

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the record to disappear from search results.

Method 2: The Automated Shield (Recommended)

Whitepages is just one of over 200 data brokers. Removing yourself from one doesn't stop the others (like Spokeo, BeenVerified, or Radaris) from selling your info.

CleanupMyInfo automatically scans these databases and submits legal opt-out requests on your behalf, monitoring them monthly to ensure you stay hidden.
