TruePeopleSearch Removal (2026): Erase Your Address

TruePeopleSearch shows your home address to anyone who types your name. No account. No payment. Just a name, and then your house.

You can erase it in about ten minutes. But there's one line on a people-search site's own privacy page that explains why it won't stay gone. We'll get to that line.

Quick answer: Go to truepeoplesearch.com/removal, choose the subject of the request, enter your name and an email you can open now, complete the CAPTCHA and send the request. Click the link in the email within 24 hours, fill in the form to match your listing, and submit. Allow 3 days, then search yourself again. FastPeopleSearch uses almost the same flow at fastpeoplesearch.com/optout. Both warn that your listing can come back when they receive new public records, so re-check every few months. Or let undoleak erase your data from data brokers and keep it off.

Every fact below comes from the official opt-out pages, the FTC, and third-party removal guides verified against the live sites in October 2026. The example person, Priya Nolan, is fictional.

#What TruePeopleSearch shows about you

TruePeopleSearch calls itself a free people search site. No account. No paywall. Just a name, and then:

• Your age
• Your phone number
• Your home address
• Your old addresses
• Your relatives and associates

Unlike paid background check sites, TruePeopleSearch shows addresses, phone numbers and relatives completely free. That makes it one of the first places someone looks when they want to find where a person lives, and it often ranks high on Google for name searches.

Here's what a listing looks like for Priya Nolan, 29, Denver. She's fictional, like every record in this guide.

Search her name, and a listing shows her age, her phone, her home address at 1428 Alder Court, her old address at 77 Birch Street in Boulder, and her relatives, including her mom Anita.

One page connects your name to your phone, your address and your family.

#Before you click anything

#1. Search yourself on TruePeopleSearch

Go to truepeoplesearch.com and search your name. Write down the exact name, age, city and phone number on your listing. The removal form only works when your details match.

#2. Look for more than one listing

Old addresses and name variations often get their own page. Each one is a separate removal request.

According to Frontline Privacy, TruePeopleSearch often holds more than one record for the same person, tied to different prior addresses.

#3. Use an email you can open right now

Set aside about ten minutes. The emailed link expires after 24 hours. Removal is free.

#TruePeopleSearch removal (2026): step by step

#Step 1. Go to the removal page

Go straight to truepeoplesearch.com/removal. The page is titled Do Not Sell/Right to Opt-out. A security check may run for a few seconds first.

#Step 2. Fill in the opt-out form

In the dropdown, choose the subject of the request. Enter your full name and your email, tick the consent box, solve the CAPTCHA, and send the request.

#Step 3. Open the email and click the link

Open the email from TruePeopleSearch and click the link. It expires after 24 hours. Miss it, and you start over.

Encovert warns that the 24-hour link expiry catches many people out. Open the email the same day.

#Step 4. Match your listing

Fill in the opt-out form so it matches your listing. Same spelling. Same city. Then submit. You'll get a confirmation page and a confirmation email.

FastPeopleSearch warns that omitting information or providing inaccurate information on the opt-out form will only hinder the opt-out process. Copy your listing exactly.

#Step 5. Wait and check

Removal guides citing the live page say to allow 3 days. Then search your name again and check that it's gone.

If you have more than one listing, repeat this process for each one. The same email works for all of them.

#Backup contact

If the form doesn't work, email support@truepeoplesearch.com.

#The old Remove This Record button

Heads up: older guides show a Remove This Record button on your listing. According to KinKeeper, which verified its guide against the live site in July 2026, TruePeopleSearch changed its process in 2026. Guides written earlier describe searching for a listing and clicking a Remove This Record button. The 2026 page works differently. It starts with your email.

#FastPeopleSearch removal

FastPeopleSearch uses almost the same removal flow. Here's how it works:

#Step 1. Go to the opt-out page

Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/optout. The old /removal address forwards there.

#Step 2. Submit your request

Enter your name and email, tick the box, pass the human check (usually a Cloudflare Turnstile or CAPTCHA), and submit. You'll get an email link. The site says it expires after 24 hours.

#Step 3. Click the link and fill in the form

Click the link, fill in the form to match your record, and submit. FastPeopleSearch says to allow 3 days for the record to be fully removed.

#The 5 traps where removals fail

#Trap 1: The 24-hour link

This one catches a lot of people out. Open the email the same day.

#Trap 2: Details that don't match

FastPeopleSearch warns that missing or inaccurate details only hinder the opt-out. Copy your listing exactly. Same spelling, same city, same phone.

#Trap 3: Look-alike pages

The real removal is free, on the site's own address. If a page wants money or a card to remove you, close it.

#Trap 4: The security check won't load

Turn off ad blockers, try a fresh window, and try again. Both sites use automated security checks (Cloudflare or similar) to stop bots.

#Trap 5: Google cache

An old snippet of your listing can linger in search results for days or weeks. Google's Results about you tool lets you request removal of results showing your contact info. Our Google removal guide walks through the steps.

My Privacy Agent notes that Google can keep a cached snippet even after the profile disappears from the source site.

#Why TruePeopleSearch listings come back

Here's that line.

On its own privacy notice, FastPeopleSearch says it regularly receives new public records. So even if you opt out, your information may appear again in the future.

It says it tries to apply your opt-out to public records as a courtesy. It doesn't remove the data from the original source. And it recommends you periodically refresh your opt-out request.

In other words: one removal is not a fix.

The FTC says the same thing. If your public records change, your info could reappear for sale. A move, a new phone number, a property purchase, or an updated voter registration creates new records that people-search sites copy.

#What triggers a re-listing

• A move. New address on your voter registration or driver's license.
• A new phone number. Carriers and marketing databases share phone records.
• Property purchase. Deed records are public and updated often.
• Family connections. Your info can appear on a relative's or neighbor's report even after you opt out, according to the FTC.

#What to do

Set a reminder. Every few months, search yourself on both TruePeopleSearch and FastPeopleSearch, and file again if you're back.

Or let undoleak handle it. undoleak erases your data from data brokers and keeps it off, re-checking over time and erasing it again when it comes back.

#Two sites, two emails, 24 hours each

Both forms let you remove multiple listings. Each listing needs its own request.

#Removing relatives' listings too

Relatives and household members often have their own listings that point back to you. Our TruePeopleSearch removal guide covers this. Each person needs their own request, and the same email works for all of them.

The FTC warns that your information may still appear in the reports of your relatives, neighbors or associates even after you opt out. Search their names, check their listings, and opt out of pages that list you.

#What to do after you remove your listing

1. Clear the Google result. Once the listing is gone, request removal of outdated results through Google's Results about you tool.
2. Check other people-search sites. The same records show up on Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris and dozens more. Our main removal guide has the 15 biggest sites with opt-out links for each.
3. Set a re-check reminder. Mark your calendar for 3 to 6 months from now. Search yourself again, and repeat the removal if you're back.

#Why your address matters

Most of us will never face anything like the July 2020 attack on Judge Esther Salas's family. But anyone who has your address can find your door.

According to FBI affidavits from a June 2025 Minnesota case, one suspect's notebook listed 11 people-search sites, with TruePeopleSearch first on the list. The affidavit doesn't say which address came from which site. But it shows where he went looking.

Our guide on how scammers use data brokers goes deeper into how three lines on a people-search site turn a random robocall into a call that sounds like family.

#California DROP: one request to 600+ brokers

If you or your family live in California, you have the strongest tool in the country.

DROP (at privacy.ca.gov/drop) sends one free deletion request to more than 600 registered data brokers. Since August 1, 2026, brokers must check DROP at least every 45 days and keep deleting you.

Our DROP guide walks through how to file and what each status means.

#How undoleak handles TruePeopleSearch for you

undoleak finds your data on TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch and dozens of other people-search sites, files the removal through each site's own process, and keeps re-checking for listings that come back.

Here's what happens:

1. We find every listing. We search TruePeopleSearch for every profile tied to your name, phone, email and past addresses, including duplicates and family listings the opt-out form won't show you.
2. We file and confirm the opt-out. We submit the removal, handle the verification steps, and check that the listing is actually gone.
3. We watch for it coming back. People-search sites re-add records from public data. We recheck TruePeopleSearch and file again whenever your listing returns.
4. We cover the copycat sites. The same records show up on other people-search sites. One scan covers them along with TruePeopleSearch.

Check your data free to see where you're exposed right now. The first scan is free.

#Did your TruePeopleSearch listing come back?

If your listing reappeared after you removed it, you're not alone. It's how people-search sites work. They keep collecting new data from public records, so a new listing can appear after a move or a data refresh.

Search your own name tonight. Then search your parents'. You might be surprised what's out there.
