PublicRecords360 is a people search website that compiles personal information from public records, voter registrations, property records, and other data sources. Anyone can search for your name and find your home address, phone number, age, relatives, and more — all without your knowledge or consent. Here's how to remove yourself from PublicRecords360.
What Information Does PublicRecords360 Expose?
PublicRecords360 aggregates data from a variety of public and commercial sources to create detailed profiles. A listing on PublicRecords360 may include:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and previous home addresses
- Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
- Email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Names of relatives and associates
- Property ownership records
- Court records and legal filings
This information is indexed by search engines, which means your PublicRecords360 profile can appear when someone Googles your name. That makes it accessible to anyone — from potential employers to scammers and stalkers.
Step-by-Step: How to Opt Out of PublicRecords360
PublicRecords360 provides an online opt-out form. Follow these steps to submit your removal request:
Step 1: Find Your Listing
Visit publicrecords360.com and search for your name. Browse through the results until you find your listing. Make note of the specific details (name, city, state) shown on your profile so you can accurately identify yourself in the opt-out process.
Step 2: Go to the Opt-Out Page
Navigate to publicrecords360.com/optout.html to access the official removal request form.
Step 3: Fill Out the Opt-Out Form
Complete the opt-out form with the following information:
- Enter your full name as it appears on your listing.
- Provide your address (the one shown on your listing).
- Enter your date of birth.
- Submit the form and wait for a confirmation.
Alternative Submission Methods
If you prefer not to use the online form, you can also submit your opt-out request by fax to 425-974-6194. Include your full name, address, and date of birth in the fax. Allow 7 to 14 business days for your request to be processed regardless of the method you use.
Step 4: Verify Your Removal
After waiting 7 to 14 business days, go back to PublicRecords360 and search for yourself again. If your listing still appears, you may need to resubmit the opt-out form or try the fax method. Some users have found that submitting through both channels helps ensure removal.
What to Do If Your Data Reappears
Like most people search sites, PublicRecords360 continuously ingests new data from public records databases. This means your listing can reappear weeks or months after you've successfully opted out. To stay protected:
- Set a calendar reminder to check PublicRecords360 every 2 to 3 months.
- Resubmit the opt-out form if your information reappears.
- Consider an automated removal service like PrivacyOn that handles ongoing monitoring and removal for you.
One Opt-Out Isn't Enough
PublicRecords360 is part of a large network of people search and public records sites. Your data likely appears on dozens of similar sites including Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch, and more. Each site requires its own separate opt-out process. Removing yourself from PublicRecords360 alone won't protect you from being found elsewhere.
Removing Cached Results From Google
Even after PublicRecords360 removes your listing, the page may still appear in Google search results as a cached version. To remove it:
- First, confirm that the page has been removed or returns a 404 error on PublicRecords360.
- Go to Google's Remove Outdated Content tool.
- Enter the URL of your old PublicRecords360 listing and submit the request.
- Google typically processes these requests within a few days.
Protect Yourself Beyond PublicRecords360
Opting out of PublicRecords360 is just one step in a larger privacy protection strategy. Here are additional measures you should take:
- Opt out of other data brokers — sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, and Intelius all have their own opt-out processes.
- Freeze your credit at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to prevent identity thieves from opening accounts in your name.
- Use a P.O. box for mail to keep your home address out of public databases.
- Monitor your online presence by setting up Google Alerts for your name to catch new listings as they appear.

Why You Should Remove Your Data From PublicRecords360
People search sites like PublicRecords360 make it trivially easy for anyone to find your home address, phone number, and personal details. This data is used by scammers running phishing and social engineering attacks, stalkers and harassers, telemarketers and spam callers, and identity thieves gathering information to impersonate you.
Taking a few minutes to submit an opt-out request can meaningfully reduce your exposure. For ongoing, comprehensive protection, PrivacyOn automates the entire process so you don't have to think about it.
