PublicRecords.com is a people search website operated by PeopleConnect that exposes personal information including names, addresses, phone numbers, and more. If you have found your information on PublicRecords.com, this guide explains how to submit a removal request through PeopleConnect's suppression center.
What Information Does PublicRecords.com Expose?
PublicRecords.com aggregates data from public records and commercial databases to create searchable profiles. A listing on the site may include:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and past residential addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Known relatives and associates
- Property records
- Social media profiles
Because PublicRecords.com is part of the PeopleConnect network, your data may also appear on affiliated people search sites operated by the same parent company.
How to Opt Out of PublicRecords.com: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Go to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center
PublicRecords.com uses PeopleConnect's centralized suppression center for all opt-out requests. Navigate to suppression.peopleconnect.us/login in your web browser.
Step 2: Enter Your Email Address
Type in your email address on the login page. Read the terms of use and privacy policy, and if you agree, click Continue. PeopleConnect will send a verification email to this address.
Step 3: Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email from PeopleConnect. Click the link in the email to access the suppression center dashboard. If you do not see the email, check your spam, junk, or promotions folder.
Step 4: Search for and Suppress Your Records
Once inside the suppression center, search for your name and identify the records that belong to you. Select the records you want removed and submit your suppression request.
One Request May Cover Multiple Sites
PeopleConnect operates several people search websites. A suppression request through their central system may also remove your data from other affiliated sites in their network, though you should verify this by checking each site individually after removal.
Step 5: Wait for Processing
Your record should be removed from PublicRecords.com within 72 hours. After the waiting period, visit PublicRecords.com and search for your name to confirm the listing has been taken down.
Records May Return
Like all people search sites, PublicRecords.com regularly refreshes its database from public records sources and commercial data providers. Your information can reappear after removal. Monitor the site periodically and resubmit your request if your data is re-listed.
Understanding the PeopleConnect Network
PublicRecords.com is part of the PeopleConnect family of people search sites. PeopleConnect operates or has operated several well-known people search platforms. When you suppress your records through their system, the suppression may apply across multiple properties in their network.
However, this does not remove your data from people search sites operated by other companies. Sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, Intelius, and dozens more are independently operated and require separate opt-out requests.
PublicRecords.com vs. Other "Public Records" Sites
There are several similarly named people search sites, and it can be confusing to tell them apart:
- PublicRecords.com — operated by PeopleConnect (this guide)
- PublicRecordsNow.com — a different site with its own opt-out process
- PublicRecords360.com — another separate site
- PublicDataCheck.com — independently operated
- SearchPublicRecords.com — also has its own removal process
- PublicRecordReports.com — separate opt-out required
If your information appears on any of these sites, you will need to go through each site's individual opt-out process. They are not connected to each other.
How to Check if Your Data Is on PublicRecords.com
Before starting the opt-out process, visit PublicRecords.com and run a search for your full name and state. If your profile appears in the results, proceed with the removal steps above. If no results appear, your data may not currently be listed — but it could be added in the future as the database updates.
Protect Yourself Across All Data Brokers
Opting out of PublicRecords.com is important, but it only addresses one of over 100 data broker sites that may expose your personal information. Each site requires a different process, and re-listings mean you need to check back regularly.
