AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com is a people-search site that aggregates public records — names, addresses, phone numbers, relatives, criminal records, and more — into searchable profiles available to anyone online. If your information appears on the site, this 2026 guide walks you through the exact steps to remove it, what to expect during the process, and how to prevent your data from reappearing.
What AdvancedBackgroundChecks Exposes About You
An AdvancedBackgroundChecks profile can include:
- Full name, age, and date of birth
- Current and past home addresses
- Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
- Email addresses
- Names of relatives and known associates
- Property records and home value estimates
- Court and criminal records
- Possible social media profiles
This information is compiled from public records, commercial data sources, and other data aggregators. Even if you have never visited the site, there is a good chance your information is already there.
Why You Should Remove Yourself
Anyone can search your name on AdvancedBackgroundChecks and instantly see your home address, phone number, and the names of your family members — all for free or for a small fee. This makes you a target for:
- Spam and robocalls — your phone number is exposed to telemarketers and scammers
- Phishing attacks — scammers use your personal details to craft convincing messages
- Stalking and harassment — your home address is publicly searchable
- Identity theft — the combination of your name, address, date of birth, and relatives is enough to impersonate you
How to Opt Out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks (Step by Step)
- Search for your listing. Go to advancedbackgroundchecks.com and search for your name. Use your city and state to narrow down the results. Find the profile that matches you by checking the age, location, and listed relatives.
- Go to the removal page. Navigate to advancedbackgroundchecks.com/removal directly. This is the official opt-out form for the site.
- Enter your email address. Provide a valid email address where you can receive a confirmation link. This is required to verify your identity and process the removal.
- Check the agreement box. Read and accept the terms of the removal request. You are agreeing that you are the person (or an authorized representative) requesting the removal.
- Complete the CAPTCHA. Solve the CAPTCHA verification to prove you are not a bot.
- Click “Begin removal process.” Submit the form to initiate your opt-out request.
- Check your email. AdvancedBackgroundChecks will send a confirmation email. Open it and click the verification link to finalize your removal. Your request will not be processed until you complete this step.
Processing time
AdvancedBackgroundChecks states that removal requests are processed within 72 hours, though in practice it can take 2 to 5 business days for your listing to fully disappear. Re-search your name after a week to confirm the removal was successful.
Check your spam folder
The confirmation email sometimes lands in spam or promotions. If you do not see it within a few minutes, check those folders. Without clicking the confirmation link, your removal will not be processed.
Handling Multiple Listings
If you have lived in multiple states or appear under name variations (maiden name, middle name, common misspellings), you may have more than one listing on AdvancedBackgroundChecks. Search for each variation and submit separate removal requests for every profile you find. A single opt-out only covers the specific record you identify.
Tips for a Successful Removal
- Use a reachable email. The confirmation link is the only way to finalize your removal. Use an email you actively monitor.
- Save your confirmation. Screenshot or save the confirmation email as proof that you submitted the request, in case you need to follow up.
- Search again after a week. Verify that your listing has actually been removed. If it is still there, resubmit the opt-out.
- Check for related sites. AdvancedBackgroundChecks shares data sources with other people-search sites. Removing yourself from one does not remove you from others — see our full data broker opt-out guide for the complete list.
Will Your Data Come Back?
Unfortunately, yes — it very likely will. AdvancedBackgroundChecks continuously refreshes its database from public records and data aggregators. When new records matching your identity appear — a change of address, a new voter registration, a property transaction — the site can rebuild your profile from scratch. This is not unique to AdvancedBackgroundChecks; it is how virtually all people-search sites operate.
Because of this, you should plan to re-check your listing every 3 to 6 months. If your profile reappears, you will need to go through the removal process again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AdvancedBackgroundChecks opt-out free?
Yes. The removal process is completely free. You should never pay to remove your own information from a people-search site.
Do I need to create an account to opt out?
No. The removal form only requires an email address for verification. You do not need to sign up for any service.
How long does the removal last?
There is no permanent removal guarantee. Your data can reappear when the site refreshes its records from public sources, which happens regularly.
Does opting out remove me from Google search results?
Opting out removes your profile from AdvancedBackgroundChecks. Cached versions may still appear in Google results for a few weeks until Google re-indexes the page. You can speed this up by using Google's Remove Outdated Content tool.
Does this remove me from other background check sites?
No. Each people-search and background check site has its own database and opt-out process. Removing yourself from AdvancedBackgroundChecks does not affect your listings on BeenVerified, Spokeo, or any other site.
