Why TruePeopleSearch matters
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.
Why your listing can come back
TruePeopleSearch builds its listings from public records and may collect your data again later. A move, a new phone number or an updated record can create a fresh listing, so check back every few months. Paid sites like Spokeo and BeenVerified sell the same records, so it's worth checking them too.
Or let undoleak handle TruePeopleSearch for you
Finds 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.
Files and confirms the opt-out
We submit the removal, handle the verification steps, and check that the listing is actually gone.
Watches for it coming back
People-search sites re-add records from public data. We recheck TruePeopleSearch and file again whenever your listing returns.
Covers the copycat sites
The same records show up on other people-search sites. One scan covers them along with TruePeopleSearch.
TruePeopleSearch: frequently asked questions
Is TruePeopleSearch removal free?
Yes. There's no charge and no account needed, only a working email address.
How long does TruePeopleSearch take to remove my record?
It doesn't publish a timeline. Removals often go through within a few days, but check back to be sure.
Why am I still on FastPeopleSearch after removing myself?
FastPeopleSearch and similar sites use the same public records but are separate sites. Removing yourself from TruePeopleSearch doesn't clear them.
My listing still shows on Google. Why?
Google can keep a cached copy until it recrawls the page. Once the listing is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the outdated result.
