Steps

1. Go to 411.com and search your own full name plus city/state (or the city/state you're most associated with) to find your listing.
2. Open your listing's detail page and copy the full URL from your browser's address bar — you'll need this exact link.
3. Alternative built-in path: scroll to the bottom of any 411.com page and click 'Do Not Sell My Information' — this forwards you to the same Whitepages opt-out tool, so you don't have to navigate there manually.
4. Go to whitepages.com/suppression-requests (411.com runs on the Whitepages database and shares one opt-out system with no separate 411-specific form) and paste your listing's URL into the box provided.
5. Click through to confirm it's your listing, then select a removal reason when prompted — 'I just want to keep my information private' is the simplest, least-friction option that guides recommend.
6. Enter your phone number and check the box affirming it's yours. Whitepages will call that number with an automated ('robot') verification call — answer it and enter/confirm the code shown on your screen when prompted.
7. Verification completes the request immediately; no account creation or ID upload is required. Check back on 411.com in a few days, and again periodically — data brokers commonly re-scrape or re-purchase listings, so information can reappear and may need to be opted out again.

Processing time: Verification/submission completes immediately once you finish the robocall step; guides report the listing typically disappearing from 411.com/Whitepages within 24-72 hours, occasionally up to about a week.

Worth knowing: 411.com pulls from the same underlying Whitepages database and multiple sources note data brokers re-scrape/re-purchase records periodically, so a removed listing can reappear months later and may need to be opted out again — this isn't a one-time permanent fix.
