How to remove yourself from TruePeopleSearch (2026 opt-out guide)
TruePeopleSearch is a free people-search site that shows addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and associates without a paywall, which makes it one of the most visible listings in a name search. Its removal form is straightforward.
Direct link to truepeoplesearch.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay TruePeopleSearch or us to use them.
Check if you are listed on TruePeopleSearch
Type your name and state and we open TruePeopleSearch's own public search in a new tab. Your details stay in your browser; Leak Check Me does not see or store them.
What TruePeopleSearch typically shows
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Relatives and associates
- Age
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 TruePeopleSearch
6 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.
- 01
Open the TruePeopleSearch removal page linked above and search for yourself by full name plus city or state (the same details that appear on your listing).
- 02
Find the record that is actually you and open it. Check the age, relatives, and past addresses; brokers often list several people with your name.
- 03
Click the remove / opt-out control on that record and enter an email address you control. TruePeopleSearch sends the confirmation link there.
- 04
Complete the hCaptcha challenge and submit the request.
- 05
Open the confirmation email from TruePeopleSearch and click the link. The request is not filed until you confirm.
- 06
Search TruePeopleSearch again after the turnaround window, including maiden or previous names and prior cities, and repeat for any second listing.
What you need
- A CAPTCHA or human check in a normal browser
- An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
- The URL of your listing (search truepeoplesearch.com for yourself first).
Gotchas
- The site is Cloudflare-gated and uses hCaptcha rather than reCAPTCHA; scripts and VPN exits often get blocked.
- Several sister sites (FastPeopleSearch, FastBackgroundCheck, SearchPeopleFree) share data but need their own opt-outs.
- Records rebuilt from public data reappear; the site itself says removal is not permanent.
- The confirmation link is time-limited; check spam.
Leak Check Me opens the TruePeopleSearch form and tracks the outcome.
TruePeopleSearch requires a step only you can do (a CAPTCHA, 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.
