How to opt out of CheckPeople
1. Start the email check
Use an inbox you control in the official opt-out form. Read the requestor and consent options, and complete any human check the live page requires. Review the record, request type and required agreement. Complete the site's human check if shown, then submit through the official page.
These instructions describe published request steps, not a removal tested here. Follow the live official form if it differs.

2. Open the verification email
Check your inbox and spam folder for CheckPeople's request message or the named request processor. Check its destination before following the verification link.
3. Search within the removal form
Use the form's search fields to find your record. Match email, date of birth, first name and review results without buying a report.

What happens next
Save the submitted listing URL or identifying details, request date and every response. Received, processing and completed are different states.
After the site reports completion, check the original listing and search again for matching records. A temporary error, access block or empty search alone does not prove deletion.
Check other websites separately. Keep a reminder to review the original site again, rather than assuming one request protects every copy forever.
What removal covers
The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
- What this request covers
- The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
- Search results
- A search result can lag behind the underlying page. Check the actual listing separately from Google or other search engines; this guide does not promise a delisting deadline.
- Browser privacy
- Cookies and advertising controls are separate from a people-search listing. Use the site's current privacy settings for those choices.
Having trouble?
The live form differs from these instructions
Follow CheckPeople's current official privacy options. Published pages can change; do not send identifying details to a different operator or an unverified replacement form.
The page is blocked or will not load
Try the official page again later in a current browser. Do not bypass an access challenge, buy a background report to unlock removal or treat a blocked page as a completed request.
A request is marked received, but the listing remains
Check the response for its status and any published processing guidance. Keep your original request details for a follow-up through the site's official privacy or support route.
Google still shows the old result
Open the underlying page first. If it has genuinely changed or disappeared, you can use Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool. This is a separate process, not a promise of immediate search removal.
CheckPeople opt-out FAQs
Where should I start with CheckPeople?
Use CheckPeople's official privacy route to request removal of your matching information.
What does this CheckPeople request cover?
The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
Which details should I provide?
Use the identifying fields required by the live official request, such as email, date of birth, first name. Share only what is necessary and review any sensitive-document requirement.
How do I know the request is finished?
Keep the actual response and check its status. After the operator reports completion, review the matching record directly; a receipt, blocked page or elapsed time does not independently prove removal.
Does this cancel a subscription or erase all public records?
No. Account billing, original public records, search-engine results and other websites are separate. Use the appropriate official route for each.

Quick calculator
What does doing it yourself cost?
Adjust the numbers to see how repeated opt-out work could add up over a year. This is an illustrative personal estimate in US dollars.
Illustrative only. It does not measure removals, show plan savings or guarantee any result.
How this is calculated
hours = brokers x minutes per request x times per year / 60; value = hours x value of one hour
