How to opt out of CheckPeople

1. Go directly to https://checkpeople.com/opt-out (this is their official self-service 'Suppression Center' — reachable on their own domain, no login/account or payment needed).
2. Enter your email address in the single required field, check the boxes agreeing to the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy and to receive transactional emails about the suppression request, then click Continue.
3. Check your inbox (and spam/junk folder — guides note this verification email 'has a habit of landing in spam') for an email from CheckPeople; open it within a few minutes of submitting and click the verification link, which opens the actual removal form.
4. On that form, enter your date of birth, then your first and last name. CheckPeople searches its own database and returns any matching listings.
5. Carefully review the results and select the specific listing(s) that are actually you (important if you have a common name or multiple records) — check city/state to confirm the match before removing.
6. Complete the CAPTCHA challenge and click Submit to finalize the removal request. You should get an on-screen confirmation.
7. Wait 5–7 business days from email verification for the listing to be removed from CheckPeople's own search results; per CheckPeople's own privacy-rights page, 'It may take longer for results to be removed from search engines' (e.g., Google cache), so don't panic if a Google search still shows the old page briefly.
8. Optional alternative if you hit friction with the self-service form (site changes, no email received, etc.): email support@checkpeople.com or call 1-800-267-2122 and provide your full name, date of birth, current/previous addresses, and the exact URL of the record you want removed.

On timing: 5-7 business days after email verification (per CheckPeople's own privacy-rights page); search-engine caches like Google may take longer to update separately

Worth knowing: CheckPeople periodically refreshes its data from public-record sources, so a removed listing can reappear later. Guides (Incogni, OneRep) recommend saving a screenshot/date of your submission and re-checking periodically so you can quickly re-submit if your info resurfaces — this isn't a one-time-forever fix.
