Guide How to remove your listing from Radaris: one record at a time, People Search only

Radaris will pull your listing out of its People Search results for free, in about a day by its own account, and it asks for nothing but a working email address. It won't delete anything, the online form only handles one record, and it leaves the phone and address directories it also runs completely alone. Start at radaris.com/control-privacy. The old removal link now lands on a page with no form.

You get hidden, not deleted

Radaris calls it removal. Its own privacy policy calls it what it is: you may request that Radaris block specific records under its control from appearing in search results. The data stays, the display stops. The opt-out page frames the whole thing as a courtesy rather than a right, and it only covers People Search.

An email address, and it has to be a real one

No ID upload, no account, no fee. You give them an email address and solve a reCAPTCHA. But masked addresses are refused in writing: hashed, randomized or system-generated emails cannot be processed. Apple's Hide My Email, a DuckDuckGo Duck Address and a SimpleLogin alias all fail that test. Use a mailbox you actually read.

The form takes exactly one record

Straight from their FAQ: we only permit you to remove one record from our People Search Results through our online Opt-Out process. Radaris splits one person across several records over spellings, initials and old addresses, so every record after the first is a manual email to customer-service@radaris.com. Count your records before you submit, or you'll think you're finished when you aren't.

Go to the page that has the form on it

Open radaris.com/control-privacy. Both footer links, Remove My Info and Do Not Sell My Info, land on that same page. The URL still printed in older guides, radaris.com/page/how-to-remove, now redirects to the Data Privacy Center, which is a rights and FAQ page with no removal form anywhere on it.

You need a real browser for this. Every path on radaris.com sits behind a Cloudflare challenge and returns a 403 to anything that doesn't run JavaScript, so a script or a command line gets you nothing. Click NEXT. The first screen has no input on it, only Radaris telling you that federal law doesn't require them to delete public information and that they offer removal as a courtesy.

Find every record with your name before you touch the form

Search yourself on Radaris first and write down the exact profile URL of every record that comes back, including the ones carrying a middle initial, a maiden name, or an address you left fifteen years ago. Radaris splits one person across several records over exactly those differences, and its FAQ admits it creates a separate record whenever a new feed doesn't match the old one.

Expect a long list. Searching John Smith in Boston, MA on September 8, 2026 returned Found 196 people. Please select your profile. with a Select button on each card and no remove-all control anywhere. Use the Refine your search link rather than scrolling. Also check the per-state address and phone directories listed at radaris.com/page/regional, because those profile URLs are accepted by the same form.

Then pick which record goes through the form. Choose the one that actually appears when you Google your own name. That is the record other people see, and it is the only one the online process will take.

Put that record through the form

Screen two is Please identify your personal page, and there are two ways through it. The fast one is the Or Enter URL of your page box: paste the profile URL you already found and skip the hunt entirely. Radaris's own example in that field is a state subdomain address, so a listing you found on a regional site pastes in here fine.

The slower way is the search: your first and last name in one box, your city and state in the next. You get a Found N people screen, and picking your own record out of that list is your job, not theirs. Match on the ages, relatives and previous cities shown on each card, click Select on the right one, and tick the box confirming the information you want removed is yours.

Confirm the email, or nothing has happened

The verification screen wants your email address and a reCAPTCHA. Use the real mailbox, for the reason above. Then hit Submit, and Radaris tells you it will send a link and a confirmation code.

Go to that email and use both. Until you click the link and enter the code, your request sits there doing nothing at all. A second email then confirms the record has been opted out, and that second email is what starts the clock, not the moment you pressed Submit.

Don't buy anything on the way through. The opt-out flow and the Data Privacy Center both push a Scan Your Online Reputation Now! button into Radaris's own paid monitoring product. It is not part of the removal, and the removal is free: their FAQ says you never have to pay to remove your own record, and that you don't need to register an account either.

Check it tomorrow, then check the rest of the site

Radaris puts it at about 24 hours from that confirmation email, when their server next refreshes. Search your name again after that, and clear your browser cache first, which is their own instruction. That timing is Radaris's claim, not a deadline you can hold them to, and they publish no deadline of their own.

Then search yourself again in the parts of the site the opt-out never covered. Their FAQ is blunt about it: your name might appear in search results for the other search services available through Radaris even after you opt-out of People Search. The address lookups and phone directories on the regional subdomains are separate products, and so is the who-called-me tool. One opt-out does not clear the site.

Email for the records the form wouldn't take

Every record after the first goes to customer-service@radaris.com, which is the address their FAQ names for exactly this. Send the profile URLs you collected, write from the same mailbox you just verified with, and say you have already opted out of one record and want the others removed too. There is also a phone line, (855) 723-2747, published on the Data Privacy Center for exercising privacy rights.

Radaris publishes no timeline for this manual cleanup, so there is no service level to point at and nothing to chase against. Send it, keep the thread, and follow up if the record is still live a week later.

Don't hand this to an automated opt-out service. Radaris states that signatures appearing automated, system-generated or otherwise unverified may be subject to additional scrutiny or rejection, and its submit form carries a hidden browser fingerprint field alongside your email. A tool that files in bulk is the exact thing that language was written to refuse.

Expect it back, and know where to escalate

Radaris warns you in its own FAQ that a data partner can hand it a new record it cannot match to your old one, and a fresh profile appears in People Search. Nobody tells you when that happens. The remedy is another email to customer-service@radaris.com. Put a recurring reminder in your calendar and re-check by name and by every old address, not once and done.

If a request is denied and you live in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee or Virginia, they publish an appeal: email removals@radaris.com with the state you are writing from and your supporting documentation. Judges, prosecutors, law enforcement and their household family use that same address under Daniel's Law, with either a link to the record or a full name, date of birth, city and state.

Californians, don't wait on DROP. Registered data brokers have had to process deletion requests through the state platform since August 1, 2026, but Radaris does not appear on the CPPA data broker registry, so a DROP request never reaches it. Do the Radaris form directly.

Radaris is one site, and your address is on a dozen more

Send the Radaris request yourself, it's free and it takes an email address. When the same address and the same list of relatives is also sitting on Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified and the rest, Personal Information Removal is $399 and covers the whole broker network, plus twelve months of monitoring, because these sites put you back.

Have us do it.

Everything above, filed for you, chased for you, and reported back. One flat fee.
