How to opt out of Radaris

Radaris aggregates public records into detailed people-search profiles — names, ages, addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and links to its other search products — and makes them broadly findable from search engines. Opting out is free, requires no account, and takes about 10 minutes through the official flow at radaris.com/control-privacy, reachable from the “Remove My Info” link in the site footer. Verification is a simple email link, and the removal is reflected at the next server refresh.

Step-by-step: opt out of Radaris

1. 1

   Open the control-privacy page

   Go to radaris.com/control-privacy, or use the Remove My Info link in the radaris.com footer. You can also start by searching the Radaris database with the on-site search form.

2. 2

   Select your record

   Find and select the record you want to opt out, checking age, addresses, and relatives to confirm it is yours.

3. 3

   Provide an email address

   Enter an email address you can check. Radaris sends a verification email to confirm the request is genuine.

4. 4

   Click the verification link

   Open the verification email and click the link to confirm the opt-out request.

5. 5

   Wait for the follow-up confirmation

   Radaris sends a follow-up email confirming the selected record has been opted out. The change appears in search results after the next server refresh, in most cases within 24 hours.

The flow itself is among the easiest of the major brokers, but Radaris imposes a restriction the others mostly do not: only one record per person can be removed through the online flow, a limit the company describes as an anti-fraud measure. That makes record selection consequential. Before you commit your single online removal, search Radaris thoroughly — current city, past cities, name variants — and identify which record is the primary, most complete one. Remove that one online, then send the rest in a single email to customer-service@radaris.com, listing each duplicate record so support can clear them in one pass.

One genuinely useful detail in Radaris’s policy: submitting an opt-out also counts as a request to delete your profile from their services, not merely to hide it. That said, the visible effect of the flow covers People Search results specifically, and Radaris notes your name may still surface in its other search services afterward. If you spot yourself in those ancillary products after the People Search removal completes, that is another item for the support email. Identity verification (name, email, phone) may be requested for certain legal requests if the on-site authentication fails, but the standard flow needs no ID upload.

How long Radaris takes to remove your record

Radaris’s own FAQ frames the timeline around its infrastructure: the removal appears in search results after the next server refresh, which “in most cases” means within 24 hours of the confirmation email. Two practical notes follow from that. First, the confirmation email matters — the follow-up message confirming the record has been opted out is your processing receipt, so keep it. Second, your browser may keep showing the old result after the refresh; clear the cache or use a private window before concluding the removal failed.

If the record is still live after a day or two, escalate by email to customer-service@radaris.com or by phone at (855) 723-2747. Radaris’s privacy framework is more formalized than most brokers’: the control-privacy flow is its designated do-not-sell mechanism, a right to correct is offered via email, and residents of twelve states — including Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia — have a documented right to appeal a denied privacy request by email with supporting documents. Covered persons under Daniel’s Law (judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, and their household family) have a dedicated removal channel as well.

The catch: your data comes back

Radaris is explicit that new, unmatched records from its data partners can reappear after an opt-out — and when they do, the company asks you to contact support to remove those too, rather than handling it automatically. In other words, the deletion applies to the profile that existed when you filed, not to whatever its partners deliver next quarter. A move, a new phone contract, or a refreshed public-records batch can each seed a fresh record that your original request never covered. Re-checking every few months is part of the deal.

And as with every broker in this category, Radaris is one copy of a widely duplicated data set. The same public records populate Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, and more than 100 smaller people-search sites, each with a separate opt-out process and its own reappearance behavior. If you want the monitoring handled for you, bundled services like Aura re-scan broker sites daily and re-submit opt-outs automatically when your data resurfaces, alongside identity-theft monitoring; dedicated removal-only services cover even more brokers for less money. The right choice depends on whether you want removal alone or a broader protection suite.
