Step-by-step removal instructions

1Find your record

Go to instantcheckmate.com and search for your name and state. Identify the specific record that matches your personal details.

2Visit the opt-out page

Navigate to instantcheckmate.com/opt-out. Enter your information to locate and select the record you want removed.

3Verify via email

Enter your email address and click the confirmation link that Instant Checkmate sends you. This completes the opt-out request.

4Verify removal

Wait 48 hours, then search for your name again to confirm the listing has been removed. Contact support if the record remains.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Instant Checkmate and TruthFinder share a parent company but maintain separate databases -- you must opt out of each independently.

The confirmation email can take up to 30 minutes to arrive; check spam and junk folders.

Records may reappear as new public data is added to their system.
