Spokeo Opt Out: Remove Your Info From Spokeo

The short answer

To opt out of Spokeo, find your listing on spokeo.com, copy its URL, paste it into the form at spokeo.com/optout with your email address, and click the confirmation link Spokeo emails you. Removal usually completes within 3 days. Each listing has its own URL, so repeat the form for every listing that is you.

This guide is free and complete. Follow it and you will be removed from Spokeo without paying anyone, including us. If you would rather not do this 43 more times, that is what Dataremoval is for.

What is exposed

What Spokeo publishes about you

Name, age, current and past home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, and social profiles.

Every one of those fields is removable through the steps below, and every one can reappear later when Spokeo ingests a new public record that matches your name.

The trap

Spokeo will not remove a listing you have not given it the URL for. People opt out once, see the record they found disappear, and never notice the three other listings still live under a previous address.

The method

Spokeo opt-out, step by step

Easy, but Spokeo often holds several listings for one person, and each needs its own request.

  1. 01 Find every listing that is you

    Search your name on spokeo.com and add your city or state. Spokeo commonly holds more than one record for the same person, often under an old address or a middle initial. Open each result that is genuinely you and keep the browser tabs open.

  2. 02 Copy the listing URL

    On each listing page, copy the full URL from the address bar. It looks like spokeo.com/Firstname-Lastname/State/City/p1. Spokeo will not accept a name; it removes one URL at a time.

  3. 03 Submit the opt-out form

    Go to spokeo.com/optout. Paste the listing URL, enter an email address you can access, and complete the CAPTCHA. Use an email you keep, not a throwaway, because you have to click the link it sends.

  4. 04 Confirm from your inbox

    Spokeo sends a confirmation email within a few minutes. Click the link in it. The request does nothing until you do. Check your spam folder if it has not arrived in ten minutes.

  5. 05 Repeat, then re-check in a month

    Do the same for every listing URL. Then note a reminder to search yourself again in about 30 days: Spokeo re-ingests public records continuously, and listings do come back when a new record ties your name to an address.

Steps written against Spokeo's live flow in July 2026. Brokers move their forms without notice. If a step has moved, start from their opt-out page and the shape of the process will be the same. Tell us if it has changed: team@dataremoval.ai.

And then the other 43

Spokeo is one of them

The same address you just removed from Spokeo is still published by the other brokers in our directory, and by the marketing aggregators that supply all of them. Removing one is a good afternoon. Removing all of them, and keeping them removed as they refill, is a different kind of job.

Dataremoval files every opt-out for you and re-scans monthly. It is in early access, so joining the list costs nothing and there is nothing to buy.
