Remove Your Info from FastPeopleSearch

Step-by-step guide to opting out of FastPeopleSearch and preventing your personal information from being re-listed after removal takes effect.

FastPeopleSearch is a free people-search site that displays your name, address, phone number, email, age, relatives, and associates to anyone who searches for you. Because it is free, it gets significant traffic. Its pages rank well in Google search results.

FastPeopleSearch offers a free opt-out. It requires email verification. The process works. Re-listing is common.

How to opt out

Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal and search for your listing. Click your record to view the full profile. Click the removal option at the bottom of the page. Provide an email address for verification. FastPeopleSearch sends a confirmation email. Click the link to confirm your removal request.

Processing takes 24 to 48 hours. After that window, search for yourself on the site to verify the listing is gone. If you have multiple listings from different addresses, repeat the process for each one.

Why your information is there

FastPeopleSearch aggregates data from public records: voter registration, property records, court filings, and other government databases. It also pulls from commercial data broker databases. The site does not collect this information directly from you. It scrapes and compiles it from sources that are already public, then makes it searchable by name, address, or phone number.

This is why opting out of one site is not enough. The underlying data sources are still public. Other sites pull from the same places. Work through removals on BeenVerified, Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch, and Intelius as well.

Preventing re-listing

FastPeopleSearch continuously imports new data. If a public record is updated or a new data source becomes available, your profile can be recreated even after you opted out. Re-listing within 3 to 6 months is common.

There is no permanent one-time fix. The most effective approach combines opt-outs with upstream cleanup. If your address appears because of voter registration, check if your state offers a confidential voter program. If your phone number is pulled from old business filings, update those filings to use a different number. Our guide on removing personal information from Google covers upstream sources in detail.

Re-check FastPeopleSearch and the other major people-search sites every 2 to 3 months. It takes a few minutes each time. Catching a re-listing early means it spends less time indexed in Google.

Repeating this across a dozen brokers every quarter is the item that falls off everyone's list by month four. It stays on ours. Let's get to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove my listing from FastPeopleSearch?

Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal, find your record, and click the "Remove This Record" link at the bottom of your listing page. Confirm the removal via the email they send you. Most removals process within 24 to 48 hours.

Is FastPeopleSearch removal permanent?

FastPeopleSearch removals are generally permanent for that specific record. The site continuously ingests new data. If your information shows up in a new data feed with updated details, a new listing may be created. Re-listing within 3 to 6 months is common.

Does FastPeopleSearch charge for removal?

No. FastPeopleSearch opt-out is completely free. Any third-party site or service claiming you need to pay FastPeopleSearch directly for removal is a scam.

Does opting out of FastPeopleSearch remove me from Google search results too?

Not immediately. Even after your listing is removed from FastPeopleSearch, Google may cache that page for days or weeks. Once the listing is confirmed gone, submit a removal request through Google's outdated content tool to speed up de-indexing.

How long does it take for my FastPeopleSearch listing to disappear from Google after removal?

Google typically refreshes its index within 2 to 6 weeks after the source page is removed. Using Google's Remove Outdated Content tool can shorten that window. Check back at the 30-day mark and resubmit if the cached result is still showing.

Can I opt out of FastPeopleSearch without providing my email address?

No. The site requires email verification to process the removal request. Use a secondary email address if you prefer not to hand over your primary one.

Will my information come back after I opt out?

It can, usually within 3 to 6 months. FastPeopleSearch continuously ingests updated public records. Re-check every 2 to 3 months. Pairing the opt-out with upstream source cleanup, like updating old business filings or enrolling in a confidential voter program, reduces how often re-listing happens.

How long does FastPeopleSearch keep my information out of search results after I opt out?

FastPeopleSearch processes removal requests within 24 to 48 hours. Google's index is a separate system. A cached version of your listing can still appear in Google search results for days or weeks after the page itself is gone. If a cached result is urgent, submit a URL removal request through Google Search Console.

The opt-out takes 48 hours. Staying off takes upkeep.

FastPeopleSearch re-imports public records continuously and rebuilds profiles months after a clean removal. We file across the full broker set, fix the upstream records feeding them where that is possible, and re-check on a schedule so a re-list is caught in weeks instead of found by accident.
