Nope is not affiliated with AdvancedBackgroundChecks. If a step looks different, follow the site's own instructions.

What AdvancedBackgroundChecks shows

  • Your name, age and the city you live in
  • Your most recent address and past cities
  • Relatives and other people linked to you
  • Phone numbers, partly hidden on the free page

How to opt out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks

  1. Search advancedbackgroundchecks.com for your name and state, find your listing and note the details it shows.

  2. Go to AdvancedBackgroundChecks' opt-out page: advancedbackgroundchecks.com/opt-out (opens in a new tab)

  3. Enter your name and email address and submit.

  4. Click the link in the email AdvancedBackgroundChecks sends you. It stops working after 24 hours.

  5. Fill in the opt-out form with your details exactly as your listing shows them, and submit it.

  6. You will see a confirmation page and get an email saying your request was received.

How long does it take?

AdvancedBackgroundChecks says it sends another email when your request is fully processed, within 45 days or sooner. Search for yourself again when that email comes.

Will my AdvancedBackgroundChecks listing come back?

It can. People-search sites keep adding new records, so a new listing can appear, for example after you move. Search your name, phone number and email again in about a month, then every few months, and after you move or change numbers.

Does it cost anything?

No. The opt-out is free, and you don't need an account.
