Step-by-step removal instructions

1Find your record

Visit intelius.com and search for your name. Review the results and identify the record that matches your personal details.

2Go to the opt-out page

Navigate to intelius.com/opt-out and enter the required information to identify your record. You may need to provide your name, state, and age range.

3Verify your identity

Intelius requires identity verification via email. Enter your email address and click the confirmation link sent to you. After verification, your record will be queued for removal.

4Confirm removal

Check back after 72 hours to confirm your listing has been removed. If it persists, contact Intelius support directly.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Intelius powers other people-search sites (e.g., iSearch, Zabasearch); removing from Intelius alone may not remove all downstream copies.

Multiple records may exist under slight name variations -- search for each variant separately.
