How to Remove Yourself from Whitepages
Whitepages is one of the most widely used people-search sites in the US. If your name, address, or phone number appears on Whitepages, here's what you need to know about removal.
Important: No service can guarantee complete removal of personal information from the internet. Opt-out processes and timelines vary by source.
What Whitepages collects
Whitepages aggregates public records, phone directories, and other data sources to create profiles containing names, addresses, phone numbers, and associated people. This information is freely searchable by anyone.
The opt-out process
Whitepages offers an online opt-out form at whitepages.com/suppression-requests. You'll need to find your listing, verify your identity, and submit a removal request. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days.
Important caveats
Removal from Whitepages does not remove your data from other people-search sites that may source data independently. Whitepages may also re-list your information if new public records become available. Periodic re-checking is recommended.
