How to remove yourself from Spokeo

Spokeo's opt-out is free and needs only your listing's web address and an email address. These are its own steps.

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

What Spokeo shows

  • Your name, age and the cities you have lived in
  • Names of your relatives
  • Phone numbers, email addresses and past addresses, often in a paid report

You can have more than one listing, for example under a nickname or an old city.

How to opt out of Spokeo

  1. Search spokeo.com for your name and city. Search your phone number and email address too.

  2. Open your listing and copy its web address. It looks like spokeo.com/Smith-Sample/Houston/TX/p12345678.

  3. Go to Spokeo's opt-out page: spokeo.com/optout (opens in a new tab)

  4. Paste the web address, add your email address and tap Opt Out. Finish the robot check if one appears.

  5. Open the email from Spokeo and click the link inside. The request is not finished until you do.

  6. Do the same for every listing. Spokeo says each one has its own web address and must be opted out on its own.

How long does it take?

Spokeo says most requests are processed in 24 to 48 hours. Search for yourself again after 2 days to make sure the listing is gone.

Will my Spokeo listing come back?

It can. Spokeo says your information may show up again as it gets new public records, and asks you to check regularly. 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. Spokeo's opt-out is free, and you don't need an account.
