  • Relatives and other people linked to you

How to opt out of FastBackgroundCheck

  1. Search fastbackgroundcheck.com for your name and city, find your record and note the details it shows.

  2. Go to FastBackgroundCheck's opt-out page: fastbackgroundcheck.com/optout (opens in a new tab)

  3. Under I am, choose The subject of this request. Enter your name and email address, tick the box and finish the captcha.

  4. Click the link in the email FastBackgroundCheck sends you. It can take a while to arrive, and it stops working after 24 hours.

  5. Fill in the opt-out form with your details exactly as your record shows them. Leaving things out slows it down.

  6. You will see a confirmation page and get a confirmation email.

How long does it take?

FastBackgroundCheck says to allow 3 days for your record to be fully removed. Search for yourself again after that.

Will my FastBackgroundCheck listing come back?

It can. People-search sites keep adding new records, so a new record 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?

The first screen asks only for your name and email address, with no payment and no sign-in. If a later step asks you to pay, stop.
