How to remove yourself from CheckPeople (2026 opt-out guide)

CheckPeople sells background reports built from public records and shows a free teaser with age, addresses, and relatives. Its opt-out page lets you find the record and confirm removal by email.

Open the official CheckPeople opt-out Check if you are listed

Direct link to checkpeople.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay CheckPeople or us to use them.

Check if you are listed on CheckPeople

CheckPeople does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open checkpeople.com, search your full name plus your state (and previous states), and copy the URL of the record that is you. The opt-out form usually asks for that URL or the same name and location.

Step by step

Remove yourself from CheckPeople

5 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.

01
Open the CheckPeople opt-out page linked above.
02
Search for yourself by name and state and open the record that matches your age and past addresses.
03
Click the opt-out control on that record and enter an email address you control.
04
Submit the request, then open the confirmation email from CheckPeople and click the link.
05
Re-check the site after 48 hours and repeat for any second record.

What you need

An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
The URL of your listing (search checkpeople.com for yourself first).

Gotchas

The opt-out page redirects from www to the bare domain; that is expected.
Only the free teaser is suppressed immediately; paid report caches can lag.
Check spam for the confirmation email.
Re-listing after new record pulls is common.

Manual guide only

CheckPeople is not one of Leak Check Me's removal targets yet.

We do not file CheckPeople requests today, so the steps above are the whole job. The free scan still shows the people-search and broker listings we can see for your details, and the paid product files the sites it supports; we will not claim to cover CheckPeople until we actually do.

Source Removal Sprint is $39 one-time for up to three eligible supported-source requests. MyPrivacyAgent Patrol is $19/month with re-checks; cancel anytime. Nothing is marked removed before a provider or native action succeeds.
