Step-by-step removal instructions

1Find your listing

Go to truthfinder.com and run a search for your full name and state. Review the results to find your specific record.

2Navigate to the opt-out page

Visit truthfinder.com/opt-out and follow the instructions to begin the removal process. You will need to enter your name, city, and state.

3Verify your identity

TruthFinder requires email verification. Enter your email address and click the confirmation link they send you to verify the opt-out request.

4Wait for processing

After verification, TruthFinder processes your removal request. This can take up to 48 hours. Check back to confirm your listing has been removed.

Common pitfalls to avoid

TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate share a parent company -- opting out of one does not automatically remove you from the other.

The opt-out form may time out if you take too long; complete it in one session.

Your data may reappear as new public records are added to their database.
