FastPeopleSearch is a free people-search site that displays your name, address, phone number, email, age, relatives, and associates to anyone who searches for you. Because it is free, it gets a lot of traffic, and its pages tend to rank well in Google search results. If you have found your personal information on FastPeopleSearch, the opt-out process is available and we are going to walk you through it.
How to Opt Out
Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal and search for your listing. Once you locate your record, click on it to view the full profile. There will be an option to request removal. You will need to provide an email address for verification. FastPeopleSearch will send a confirmation email. Click the link in that email to confirm your removal request.
The removal typically processes within 24 to 48 hours. After that window, search for yourself again on the site to verify that your listing has been taken down. If you have multiple listings (which happens if you have lived at multiple addresses), you will need to repeat the process for each one.
Why Your Info Is There in the First Place
FastPeopleSearch aggregates data from public records, including voter registration, property records, court filings, and other government databases. It also pulls from commercially available data broker databases. The site does not collect this information directly from you. It scrapes and compiles it from sources that are already public, then makes it searchable by name, address, or phone number.
This is why simply opting out of one site is not enough. The underlying data sources are still public, and other sites are pulling from the same places. For a thorough cleanup, you will want to opt out of all the major people-search platforms. We have written guides for BeenVerified, Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch, and Intelius as well.
Preventing Re-Listing
The most common complaint about people-search opt-outs is that your information comes back. FastPeopleSearch, like most of these sites, continuously imports new data. If a public record is updated or a new data source becomes available, your profile can be recreated even after you opted out.
There is no permanent one-time fix for this. The most effective approach is to combine opt-outs with upstream cleanup. That means addressing the source of the data wherever possible. For example, if your address is appearing because of voter registration, check if your state offers a confidential voter program. If your phone number is being pulled from old business filings, update those filings to use a different number. Our guide on how to make your address unsearchable covers the upstream sources in detail.
Plan to re-check FastPeopleSearch and the other major people-search sites every two to three months. It takes just a few minutes each time, and catching a re-listing early means it spends less time indexed in Google.
If you have tried these steps and are still stuck, or if you just do not have the time, we can help. Book a consultation or book removal services and we will take it from here.
