How to remove yourself from Intelius (2026 opt-out guide)
Intelius is the flagship PeopleConnect background-report brand. Its opt-out page redirects to the shared PeopleConnect Suppression Center, so one request also suppresses TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, and ZabaSearch.
Direct link to intelius.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay Intelius or us to use them.
Check if you are listed on Intelius
Intelius does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open intelius.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.
What Intelius typically shows
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Criminal records
- Relatives
- Age
- Email addresses
The free Leak Check Me scan checks the details you provide against known breach records and the people-search sites we cover, so you can see the whole exposure picture before filing forms one by one.
Remove yourself from Intelius
6 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.
- 01
Open the Intelius opt-out link above. It redirects to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, the single portal that covers Intelius and its sister sites.
- 02
Enter an email address you control and tick the consent box. PeopleConnect emails you a verification link before it shows any records.
- 03
Open the verification email and follow the link back to the suppression portal.
- 04
Search for yourself by name and state, then select the records that are yours. You can suppress several matching records in one session.
- 05
Confirm the suppression. PeopleConnect shows an on-screen confirmation and emails a receipt; keep it as proof.
- 06
Re-check Intelius after the turnaround window. A suppressed record can return if a new data source is ingested.
What you need
- An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
- The URL of your listing (search intelius.com for yourself first).
Gotchas
- You must click the emailed verification link before the portal shows any record.
- The portal shows several near-matches; only suppress records that are really you.
- ZabaSearch and Addresses.com have no form of their own; this request covers them.
- Re-listing after new data ingestion is common; re-check quarterly.
Leak Check Me opens the Intelius form and tracks the outcome.
Intelius requires a step only you can do (email confirmation). After you authorize a mission, our agent opens the official form with your scan details, hands you that step, records the request as filed only when the site confirms it, and re-checks the listing before anything is called removed. If the site blocks the agent, you get the same instructions above instead of a fake status.
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.
