Step by step
- Go to checkpeople.com/opt-out and enter your email address.
- Open the verification email and click the link.
- Search for your record (name and location; some guides report a date-of-birth field) and complete the CAPTCHA.
- Identify your record using age, past addresses and relatives, then select it for removal.
- Click any further confirmation link emailed to you.
- After a few days, search your name again (clear your browser cache first).
Tips and gotchas
- CheckPeople says you may need to clear your browser history to avoid seeing a cached page when checking removal.
- Opting out on behalf of someone else requires being their authorized agent.
- Ignore third-party claims that CheckPeople is owned by PeopleConnect; the registry lists it as CheckPeople, LLC and no first-party source confirms a parent.
