To opt out of Intelius.com, go to suppression.peopleconnect.us/login, enter a disposable email and verify it, then provide your date of birth and legal name. Select your matching record and choose Suppressed from the Desired Behavior dropdown, then click Save. Your record will be hidden within 48 hours. One request also removes you from TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and USSearch. If you have already done this for any of those sites, you are already removed from Intelius too.
Already opted out of TruthFinder or Instant Checkmate? You are already covered.
Intelius is owned by PeopleConnect, Inc. One suppression request through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center removes your data from all four of their sites at the same time. If you have already submitted a suppression through this portal for any of these sites, your Intelius record is already hidden.
Intelius.com is a people search and background check service that collects personal information from public records, including your name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, criminal records, court records, and social media profiles. This guide covers the official, free suppression process through PeopleConnect, last updated May 2026.
No account and no payment required. Have your exact date of birth and legal name ready before you begin. The suppression tool requires both to locate your record.
Intelius does not have its own opt-out page. All removals go through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, the shared portal for all four PeopleConnect sites. If you have already used this portal to remove your data from TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, or USSearch, your Intelius record is already suppressed and you do not need to repeat this process.

The portal requires an email to send a verification link before it will show any search results or allow any changes.
Enter a disposable email address, check the box to agree to the terms of service, and click Continue.
PeopleConnect sends a confirmation email immediately. You cannot proceed past this step until the email is verified.
Open the email from PeopleConnect and click the verification link. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within 2 minutes.
The suppression tool uses your date of birth alongside your name to locate your specific record. Enter it exactly as it appears on official documents.
Enter your date of birth in the format requested and click Continue.
Your legal first and last name are required. Adding previous names, maiden names, or name variations helps the tool locate all records associated with you.
Enter your first name and last name. Middle name is optional. Add any alternate names you have been listed under, then click Continue.
The tool will display profiles matching your name and date of birth. Identify the one that matches your current or most recent address.
Review the listed profiles and click on the one that matches you. If multiple records appear for different addresses, suppress each one individually.
This is the step that actually removes your data across all four PeopleConnect sites. Change the Desired Behavior dropdown to Suppressed and save.
In the Desired Behavior dropdown, select Suppressed, then click Save. You will see a confirmation message when the suppression is applied.
PeopleConnect does not send a removal confirmation. Check each of the four sites manually after 48 hours to verify your records are no longer visible.
After 48 hours, search your name on Intelius.com. Also check TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and USSearch. Your record should not appear on any of them.
Go to suppression.peopleconnect.us/login, enter a disposable email and verify it, then provide your date of birth and legal name. Select your matching record and choose Suppressed from the Desired Behavior dropdown, then click Save. Your data will be hidden within 48 hours. The process is free and no account is required.
No. If you have already submitted a suppression request through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center for any of the four sites – Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, or USSearch – your record is already suppressed on all four. You do not need to submit a separate request for Intelius.
Yes. One suppression request through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center removes your data from all four PeopleConnect sites at the same time: Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and USSearch.
Suppression is typically applied within 48 hours of saving your request. PeopleConnect does not send a removal confirmation, so check the four sites manually after 48 hours to verify your records no longer appear.
No. New public records such as a change of address, court filing, or updated voter registration can cause your profile to reappear. Most privacy experts recommend rechecking every 3 to 6 months.
Yes, completely free. No account or payment is required at any point. Do not pay any third-party service that claims to remove you from Intelius.
Select each matching profile individually and set it to Suppressed. For a large number of records, suppress the most accurate one first and then email [email protected] to request bulk suppression of the remaining profiles.
Your suppression request has been saved. Your record will be hidden on Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and USSearch within 48 hours.
You just removed yourself from four sites with one request. There are still 100+ other data brokers selling your personal information right now.
Doing this manually for every site takes most people 200 to 300 hours per year, and each site needs to be redone every few months.
