How to opt out of Whitepages
Search whitepages.com for your name and city, and open your listing.
Copy the listing's web address.
Go to Whitepages' opt-out page and paste it in: whitepages.com/suppression-requests (opens in a new tab)
Check that it is your listing and tap Remove Me.
Pick the reason you want it removed.
Enter your own phone number. The page asks you to confirm it is yours. Whitepages then confirms the request with an automated call to that number: follow what the call and the page tell you.
How long does it take?
Search for yourself again after 2 days. If the listing is still there, check that you used its exact web address and send the request again.
Will my Whitepages 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 a Whitepages account.
