What LexisNexis holds

  • Marketing data its customers use to reach people in their campaigns
  • Prescreen lists that creditors and insurers use to send firm offers of credit or insurance
  • Public records, in products sold only to vetted businesses and government agencies

Anyone can opt out of the first two. The public records opt-out is for public officials, judges, police officers and people at risk of harm, and LexisNexis asks for proof such as a protective order or a police report.

How to opt out of LexisNexis

  1. Open the LexisNexis opt-out page. Its short address, optout.lexisnexis.com, opens this same page: consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/opt (opens in a new tab)

  2. Tap Request Opt-Out/Opt-In, then choose This request is for Myself.

  3. Enter your name, home address, phone number and date of birth. Add your email too: the form says email-linked data is covered only if you give and verify your email.

  4. The form also asks for your Social Security number, or a driver's license number instead. This is LexisNexis's own form asking. It says the Social Security number is optional but is the most precise way to find you. We never ask for your Social Security number.

  5. Choose I would like to request an Opt-Out. Tick Opt-Out of Firm Offers of Credit and Insurance (Prescreen) and Opt-Out of Direct Marketing Services, then tap Submit Request.

  6. Rather not use the form? Call 1-888-497-0011, or print the opt-out form from the same page and mail it.

How long does it take?

LexisNexis says it processes your request, then sends you a letter saying it is done. It gives no number of days. If no letter comes within 30 days, call 1-888-497-0011.

What does the LexisNexis opt-out not cover?

Other companies' lists. LexisNexis says opting out of its marketing data won't stop other companies from sending you marketing, and its prescreen opt-out doesn't cover Equifax, TransUnion or Experian. For those, it gives 1-888-567-8688, the line for OptOutPrescreen.com. Keep a note of the date you opted out, and send your request again after you move or change your name.

Does it cost anything?

The LexisNexis form asks for no payment. If a step asks you to pay, stop.
