To opt out of WhitePages, find your listing on whitepages.com, copy the profile URL, submit it on the opt-out page, and complete phone verification. WhitePages is one of the oldest and largest people search sites: a type of data broker that exposes your name, address, phone number, age, and relatives to anyone who searches.

How to Remove Yourself from WhitePages: Step by Step

• Find your listing. Go to whitepages.com and search your name. Click “View Details” on your profile to open the full listing. (Do not click “View Full Report” — that leads to a paid premium page.)

• Copy your profile URL. Copy the full URL from your browser’s address bar.

• Go to the WhitePages opt-out page. Navigate to whitepages.com/suppression-requests.

• Paste your profile URL and confirm. Enter the URL you copied, click Next, then review the listing details and click “Remove Me.”

• Select a reason for removal. Choose from the dropdown menu (options include keeping information private, receiving spam, or being harassed) and click Next.

• Complete phone verification. Enter your phone number and click “Call Now to Verify.” Answer the automated call and enter the verification code displayed on screen.

• Wait for processing. WhitePages removal typically processes within 24–48 hours.

• Verify removal. Search your name again to confirm. Note that WhitePages Premium listings may require a separate removal process.

Important Notes on WhitePages Removal

WhitePages operates multiple related sites. Opting out of whitepages.com may not remove you from all affiliated properties, including WhitePages Premium, which maintains separate listings with additional data points like background checks and financial records. Your information may also appear on other data broker and people search sites that independently source from the same public records.

WhitePages has one of the fastest processing times of any people search site (24–48 hours), but that speed cuts both ways: their database refreshes just as quickly from public records and commercial data feeds. Learn why data reappears →

WhitePages processes removals fast, but re-lists just as fast. RemoveMe keeps your WhitePages listing cleared, and catches re-listings across the other broker sites feeding from the same data sources.
