1Find your listing

Go to whitepages.com and search for your name and city/state. Locate the listing that matches your information and copy the URL of your profile page.

2Visit the opt-out page

Navigate to whitepages.com/suppression-requests. Paste the URL of your profile listing into the opt-out form.

3Verify via phone

Whitepages requires phone verification. Enter your phone number and you will receive an automated call with a verification code. Enter the code to confirm your identity.

4Confirm removal request

After phone verification, confirm your opt-out request. Whitepages typically processes removal within 24-48 hours, but it can take up to 72 hours.
