The official BeenVerified opt-out page is beenverified.com/svc/optout/search/optouts, reachable from any page footer via Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. Search your name and state, select your record, click Proceed to Opt Out, enter your email, and confirm the verification link. Listings clear within 24 to 72 hours.
The Official BeenVerified Opt-Out Page (and How to Be Sure)
There are dozens of look-alike “BeenVerified removal” sites that charge for a request you can file free in five minutes. Only two routes are official:
- Direct URL: beenverified.com/svc/optout/search/optouts — the current opt-out search form. Older addresses under
/app/optoutredirect here. - Footer route: scroll to the bottom of any page on beenverified.com and click Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. This lands on the same form and is the link that never goes stale if the URL changes again.
The opt-out is free, works without a BeenVerified account, and never asks for payment, a Social Security number, or a copy of your ID. If a page asks for any of those, you are not on the official form.
What BeenVerified Exposes About You
A BeenVerified report can pull together:
- Full name, age, and date of birth
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Relatives, roommates, and known associates
- Court, criminal, arrest, and property records
- Social media profiles and usernames
BeenVerified draws from the same public-record and commercial sources as Intelius and Whitepages, so treat it as one stop on the bigger data-broker opt-out checklist.
Why Remove Yourself From BeenVerified
Because BeenVerified bundles your address, phone, relatives, and record history into a single low-cost report, it is a favorite tool for phishers, robocallers, stalkers, and anyone trying to locate or impersonate you. Removing your listing cuts off one of the easiest data pipelines that fuels identity theft and harassment.
Step 1: Open the Official Opt-Out Page
Go to beenverified.com/svc/optout/search/optouts, or use the footer link described above. Either path lands on the same opt-out search form.
Step 2: Search for Your Record
Enter your first name, last name, and the city and state where you live now or lived previously, then submit. BeenVerified returns a list of matching profiles that will usually include several look-alikes.
Step 3: Select the Correct Listing
Compare age, current city, and listed relatives to make sure you are opting out of your record and not a stranger's. Click your profile, then click Proceed to Opt Out.
Step 4: Enter Your Email and Complete the CAPTCHA
Provide an email address you can access, complete the CAPTCHA, and click Send Verification Email. BeenVerified will not process the request until you verify.
Step 5: Click the Verification Link
Open the email from BeenVerified (check spam if it does not arrive within five minutes) and click the green Verify Opt-Out button. You will land on a confirmation page. Your opt-out only completes once you do this.
How long does BeenVerified take to remove your data?
Verified listings typically clear within 24 to 72 hours. Re-search a few days later to confirm removal, then again in 2–4 weeks to catch anything that reappeared.
Skip the manual opt-outs
One opt-out won't stop them — brokers relist your data within months. PrivacyOn removes your info everywhere and keeps it removed.

Step 6: Handle Duplicate Records
Most people have more than one BeenVerified record
If you have lived in multiple states, gone by a nickname, changed your last name, or shared a household with relatives who have the same name, BeenVerified often carries two, three, or more separate profiles. Search again after your first removal and repeat the opt-out for every listing.
The BeenVerified Opt-Out Phone Number
If the web form is not cooperating — the CAPTCHA keeps failing, the verification email never arrives, or a listing is still live after 72 hours — you can reach a human. BeenVerified customer service is on 1-844-823-2869, open 6:00am to 11:30pm EST daily.
Two things to know before you call. First, the phone line is not itself an opt-out channel: staff will normally point you back to the online form, because the request still has to be tied to a verified email address. Second, it is genuinely useful for chasing a request that has stalled. Have your opt-out confirmation email and the URL of the listing in front of you when you call.
There is also a written route: email privacy@beenverified.com with the URL of your listing, your name, date of birth, and current and previous addresses. Use this when you want a paper trail — particularly if you are invoking a state privacy law and may need to show you asked.
How to Remove Your Phone Number From BeenVerified
Your phone number is not a separate record you can delete on its own — it is a field inside your person profile, and it also powers BeenVerified's reverse phone lookup pages. So the fix is the same opt-out above: remove the whole listing and the phone number goes with it.
Two extra steps worth taking:
- Search your own number. After your profile is removed, run your phone number through BeenVerified's reverse phone lookup. If a page still resolves, opt out of the profile it points to — that is usually a second, duplicate record under an old address.
- Check the other phone brokers. The same number is almost certainly listed on Whitepages, Spokeo, and a dozen reverse-lookup sites. Our guide to removing your phone number from the internet covers the full list.
If you are opting out because of spam calls specifically, removing the broker listings is the root-cause fix — blocking apps only treat the symptom.
Tips for a Successful BeenVerified Removal
- Match carefully on age, city, and listed relatives so you remove your own record.
- Use a reachable email — check spam if the verification message does not arrive within a few minutes.
- Search under every state you have lived in — BeenVerified often holds separate records per location.
- Save the confirmation and note the removal date, so you have proof if you need to follow up.
- Re-search a week later to confirm the takedown, and again every 2–3 months to catch re-listings.
Is BeenVerified Legal — and Accurate?
BeenVerified operates legally by compiling public records and commercial data, but it is not a Consumer Reporting Agency. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act its reports cannot be used to make decisions about employment, credit, housing, or insurance — and because the data is aggregated automatically, it is frequently out of date or simply wrong. Opting out is the cleanest way to stop an inaccurate or outdated profile from circulating about you.
What to Do If Your Record Comes Back
BeenVerified rebuilds profiles from fresh public records and partner feeds, so your listing can reappear weeks or months after removal — especially after a move, a new property filing, or a court record. There is no permanent block. The practical approach is to re-check every 60–90 days and re-submit the opt-out, or let a monitoring service do it automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official BeenVerified opt-out page in 2026?
The official page is beenverified.com/svc/optout/search/optouts. You can always reach it from the BeenVerified footer under Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, and older opt-out URLs under /app/optout redirect there. Any site charging you for a BeenVerified removal is not the official page.
What is the BeenVerified opt-out phone number?
BeenVerified customer service is 1-844-823-2869, open 6:00am to 11:30pm EST daily. The phone line will usually direct you to the online opt-out form, but it is useful for chasing a request that has stalled past 72 hours. You can also email privacy@beenverified.com with your listing URL for a written record.
How do I remove my phone number from BeenVerified?
Remove the whole listing — your phone number is a field inside your profile, not a separate record, so it disappears with the profile. Afterwards, run your number through BeenVerified's reverse phone lookup to catch any duplicate record still carrying it, and opt out of that one too.
Is the BeenVerified opt-out free?
Yes. Removing your listing is free and does not require a paid BeenVerified account. You only need a reachable email address to confirm the request.
How long does BeenVerified take to remove my data?
Verified opt-out requests are typically processed within 24 to 72 hours. Re-search a few days later to confirm removal, then again every couple of months to catch re-listings.
Does opting out of BeenVerified remove me from affiliated sites?
Not necessarily. BeenVerified is its own brand — data on other people-search sites has to be removed separately. See our full data-broker opt-out guide for the rest.
Does removing myself from BeenVerified also remove me from Google?
Not right away. Once BeenVerified takes your profile down, the page eventually drops from Google's index, though a cached result can linger for a few weeks. You can speed that up with Google's Remove Outdated Content tool.
