TIPS
BeenVerified only allows one record removed per online request. If you have multiple listings (different spellings, old addresses), email [email protected] to remove them all.
Data may reappear if a data partner sends a new record that doesn't match your existing opt-out. If this happens, email [email protected] and they'll remove it.
No membership or payment is ever required to opt out.
Covered persons (judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, and their immediate family members) can email [email protected] directly instead of using the form. Include a screenshot or link to your record, or your full name, date of birth, city, state, and email.
Outside the US? Email [email protected] with your full name and the data you want removed.
