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

DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. Registering removes your address from member direct-mail lists for ten years for a small processing fee.

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

Direct link to dmachoice.org. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay DMAchoice or us to use them.

Check if you are listed on DMAchoice

DMAchoice does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open dmachoice.org, 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.

Gotchas

There is a processing fee; Leak Check Me never pays it on your behalf.
Only member companies honor the list; local mailers and political mail are not covered.
You can register a deceased relative or a caregiver address through the same site.
Registration expires after ten years.

Guided handoff, then tracked

Leak Check Me opens the DMAchoice form and tracks the outcome.

DMAchoice charges a processing fee and needs your mailing address. Leak Check Me will not enter payment details for you; our agent can open the registration and prefill the non-payment fields during a Patrol mission.

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.
