This site requires your ZIP code and age to search – have them ready
PublicDataCheck asks for more identifying information than most data brokers. In addition to your name and state, the search form requires your ZIP code and approximate age. Without these fields, results will be incomplete or return no match. If your first search finds nothing, try your ZIP code from a previous address.
PublicDataCheck.com is a public records search database that aggregates data from government, court, and public records sources. It publishes your full name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, date of birth, criminal records, property records, financial status, family ties, and social media profiles. This guide covers the official, free opt-out process, last updated May 2026.
No account and no ID required. Use a secondary or disposable email. PublicDataCheck requires more details than most brokers – have your ZIP code and age ready before you begin.
PublicDataCheck handles all removal requests through their Privacy Requests page. This is the only official opt-out method. There is no direct removal form on the main site homepage.

PublicDataCheck requires more fields than most data broker opt-out tools. Name and state alone will not produce accurate results. You need to provide your ZIP code and age as well. All fields must be filled in before you can continue.
Enter your first name, last name, city, state, ZIP code, and age. Complete the CAPTCHA and click Continue.
The search will return a list of profiles matching your name and location. Identify the one that belongs to you based on the address and age shown.
Review the results and select the record that matches your information. If multiple profiles appear for you, select the most accurate one first. You can repeat the process for the others.
After selecting your record, PublicDataCheck asks for an email address to send a verification link. The removal is not processed until you verify via that link.
Enter a disposable email address and click Submit.
PublicDataCheck sends a confirmation email immediately after you submit. You must click the link inside it for the removal to be processed. Skipping this step means your request will not go through.
Open the email from PublicDataCheck and click the verification link. Check your spam or junk folder if it does not arrive within 5 minutes.
PublicDataCheck does not send a removal confirmation. Check the site manually after the processing window has passed. Clear your browser cache first to avoid seeing a cached version of your profile.
Wait 24 hours, clear your browser cache, then search your name on PublicDataCheck.com. If your profile does not appear, the removal was successful.

PublicDataCheck uses more identifying fields than most data brokers to narrow search results. Name and state alone return too many potential matches. Providing your ZIP code and age allows the tool to locate your specific record accurately. If your first search returns no results, try a ZIP code from a previous address or adjust your age by one year.
Typically within 24 hours after clicking the email verification link. PublicDataCheck does not send a removal confirmation, so check the site manually after 24 hours. Clear your browser cache before searching to avoid seeing a cached version of your profile.

Yes, but each record requires a separate opt-out request. If your name appears under multiple addresses, go through the full process for each one. Each submission requires its own email verification.
Check your spam and junk folders first. If the email is not there, go back to the privacy requests page and resubmit the form using a different email address. The verification link expires after a limited time, so act quickly once it arrives.
Yes, it can. PublicDataCheck regularly imports new public records. A new court filing, change of address, or updated government record can cause your profile to reappear. Check the site every 3 to 6 months and resubmit the opt-out form if your data is back.
