Step-by-Step Opt-Out Instructions
- 1
Go to the BeenVerified opt-out page
Navigate to beenverified.com/-optout/. This is the official BeenVerified opt-out form. The process is free and does not require you to create an account.
- 2
Enter your email address
BeenVerified requires a valid email address for the confirmation step — they use it to send you a unique verification link. Use an email you actually control. Don't use a throwaway address, or you won't be able to confirm the removal.

Search for your record
After entering your email, search for yourself using your full name and either your city and state or your approximate location. If multiple results appear, review each one carefully — BeenVerified aggregates data broadly, so a record may list information slightly different from your own.

Select your record and click "Remove"
Identify the listing that corresponds to you. Click the "Remove" button to initiate the opt-out. On the next screen you'll be asked to confirm your identity — this may include selecting additional data points from your record to verify it's actually you.

Check your email for the confirmation link
BeenVerified will send a confirmation email to the address you provided. Look for a message from
noreply@beenverified.com— it usually arrives within 5 minutes. The link in this email is time-sensitive. If you don't see it, check your spam or junk folder. - 6
Click the link in the email
Open the email and click the confirmation link. This finalizes your opt-out request. After clicking, you should see a confirmation message. Your record will then enter BeenVerified's removal queue — typically completed within 24–72 hours after clicking the link.

Wait 24–72 hours for full removal
Once your confirmation link is clicked, BeenVerified processes the removal within 24–72 hours. The listing will disappear from search results when this window closes. Keep the confirmation email in case you need to reference it later or prove the opt-out was submitted.
