BeenVerified.com is a people search and background check site that aggregates personal information from public records, social media, and other sources. It publishes your name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, criminal records, relatives, employment history, property records, and court records. This guide covers the official, free removal process, last updated May 2026.
No account and no payment required. Use a secondary or disposable email – BeenVerified records the address used to submit the request.
BeenVerified has a dedicated opt-out tool separate from the main site. You cannot submit a removal request through any other page.

Find your profile in the results and click Proceed to Opt Out.
