Quick answer: how Radaris opt out works
You can request removal of your Radaris profile through the official Information Control and Removal Service on Radaris's website. The form starts with a profile URL, not a name-and-state search, so you need to find your listing on Radaris first and copy the link before opening the removal page.
The verified steps involve pasting your profile URL into the removal form, clicking Next, entering your email address, completing a Google reCAPTCHA check, and clicking Submit. Based on official help documentation, Radaris may send a verification email after submission that includes a link and confirmation code.
Radaris describes this removal as a courtesy. The official page notes that public records are not federally required to be deleted, which means this process does not remove your data from its original sources. It may reduce your visibility on Radaris, but it does not reach other websites or government records.
This guide covers only the verified pre-Submit steps and the official disclosures. It does not perform the opt-out for you and does not promise any specific outcome.
Before you start
You need your Radaris profile URL before you open the removal form. The removal form asks for the URL of your specific profile page, not your name. Finding and copying that URL is the first task.
Use an email address you can check immediately. Official Radaris help documentation indicates that a verification email may be sent after submission. Use a real inbox you can open right away.
Understand the courtesy removal scope. Radaris is open on its official page that removal is offered as a courtesy. The underlying public records that Radaris aggregates are not federally required to be deleted. This means the process can request suppression of your Radaris listing but does not erase the source data.
No account or payment is required for the standard removal request described in this guide.
Post-Submit steps are not fully covered here. The source evidence for this guide documents the form through the pre-Submit stage. What appears on screen after Submit, and what the verification email contains, were not captured and are not described in this article. Follow current official Radaris instructions at those stages.
Step 1: find your Radaris profile URL
Before you open the removal form, you need to locate your profile on Radaris and copy its URL.
Go to Radaris and use the people search on the main site. Enter your name and, if prompted, your location to narrow results. Check the listings returned and identify the profile that matches your information.
Click into that profile to open the full profile page. Once the profile page has loaded, copy the complete URL from your browser's address bar. This is the URL you will paste into the removal form.
A few things to keep in mind at this step:
- If your name is common, there may be several profiles in the results. Use age, city, and any listed relatives to identify the one that is yours before copying the URL.
- If you appear under a former name or a previous address, there may be more than one profile associated with you on Radaris. Each would require a separate removal request.
- If no profile appears in search results, your information may already be removed, may not be indexed under that name, or may appear under a name variation. Try alternate spellings or a previous location if the initial search returns nothing.
Once you have the profile URL copied, you are ready to open the removal form.
Step 2: open the Radaris control-privacy page
Navigate to Radaris's official Information Control and Removal Service. You can reach it by going to the Radaris website and looking for the privacy controls or information removal section, or by searching for "Radaris opt out" or "Radaris remove information" and confirming the destination is an official radaris.com page.
Do not use third-party services that claim to submit the removal on your behalf. The only verified path is the official Radaris removal form.
Once the page loads, you will see the removal form with a field for your profile URL.
Step 3: paste the profile URL and continue
Paste the profile URL you copied in Step 1 into the Profile URL field on the removal form. Check that the URL is complete and accurate before proceeding. A partial or incorrect URL will not pull the correct profile.
After pasting the URL, click Next to continue. The button label observed on the official page is "Next ->" which advances the form to the next stage where you enter your email address.
If the URL you pasted does not correspond to a recognized Radaris profile, the form may not advance. In that case, return to the Radaris people search, locate the correct profile page, and copy the URL again from the address bar of the fully loaded profile page.
Step 4: enter email and complete CAPTCHA
After clicking Next, the form asks for your email address.
Enter an email address that you control and can access right now. Use a working inbox, not a temporary or disposable address, because official help documentation indicates a verification email may be sent to this address after you submit.
A Google reCAPTCHA check may appear on the form at this stage. Complete the reCAPTCHA prompt if it is shown. This is a standard bot-prevention measure. The specific format of the prompt can vary and may change over time.
Once you have entered your email address and completed the CAPTCHA, click Submit per the on-page instructions.
What happens after Submit
This is where the source evidence for this guide stops.
The verified workflow documents the Radaris removal form through the pre-Submit stage: profile URL entry, Next, email address, reCAPTCHA, and Submit. What appears on screen after Submit, and what any follow-up email contains, were not captured in this evidence pass.
What official help documentation describes in general terms: Radaris's official help resources indicate that a verification email may be sent after submission. That email is described as containing a link and a confirmation code. This guide does not reproduce those details because the verification email was not observed in the source evidence, and inventing subject lines, button labels, or code formats would not be accurate.
What you should do after Submit: Follow whatever current instructions appear on the Radaris page after you click Submit. If a verification email arrives, follow the instructions in that email. Save any confirmation details, reference information, or next-step instructions shown at that point.
If you do not receive a verification email within a reasonable time after submitting, check your spam or junk folder. If the email still does not arrive, contacting Radaris support with your submission details is the appropriate next step.
Do not assume the process is complete simply because you clicked Submit. Following any verification step described in the email or on-page after Submit is likely part of completing the request.
What Radaris opt out can and cannot remove
What a courtesy removal request may do:
- Request removal of your profile from Radaris's people search results
- Reduce your visibility on Radaris if the request is accepted
What it cannot do:
- Remove the underlying public records that Radaris aggregated. The official Radaris page states that public records are not federally required to be deleted. The source data that populated your listing remains in its original sources.
- Remove your information from other data broker websites. Each has its own separate process. The data broker opt-out hub provides broader context on approaching multiple sites. For specific workflows, see the Intelius opt-out guide, Whitepages opt-out guide, or BeenVerified opt-out guide.
- Remove your information from government databases, court records, voter registration records, or other public record sources
- Remove your information from search engine caches automatically. Search engines update their caches on their own schedules.
- Extend to every Radaris product or data surface. The removal form addresses profile listings on the main consumer search. Other data surfaces may not be affected.
Why your listing can come back
Removing a Radaris profile listing is not necessarily a one-time permanent change. Radaris aggregates data from third-party sources on an ongoing basis. When new records arrive from those sources that are not matched to an existing removal, a new profile can be created.
If you search for yourself on Radaris at a later date and find that a listing has reappeared, going through the removal form again for the new record is the appropriate response. This reflects a general limitation of data broker removal processes: they suppress a specific profile at a point in time rather than blocking future data ingestion.
Periodic re-checks may be worthwhile, particularly if you have moved, changed contact information, or have records associated with multiple addresses or states.
How to track what you completed
Because the verified portion of this guide stops before the post-Submit confirmation and there is no visible tracking dashboard at the pre-Submit stage, keeping your own record is the practical approach.
Opt-out tracking checklist:
- [ ] Date and approximate time you submitted the removal request
- [ ] Radaris profile URL copied and pasted into the form
- [ ] Next button clicked after URL entry - yes
- [ ] Email address used for submission
- [ ] reCAPTCHA completed - yes / no
- [ ] Submit clicked - yes
- [ ] Any on-page confirmation or instructions noted after Submit - yes / no (note what was shown)
- [ ] Verification email received - yes / no
- [ ] Instructions in verification email followed - yes / no
- [ ] Follow-up check date (choose a reasonable later date to check whether the listing still appears)
- [ ] Result of follow-up check (profile removed / still visible / reappeared)
If your profile is still visible after a reasonable period and you completed all the steps shown to you, contacting Radaris support with your submission details is the recommended path forward.
Safety and privacy tips
Use an email address that is genuinely yours. The removal process is for your own information. Avoid submitting a request using someone else's profile URL or contact details.
Do not use a temporary or disposable email address. Services that provide single-use email addresses may not reliably receive transactional messages or may expire before a verification email arrives.
Confirm you are on the official Radaris website. The URL should be on the radaris.com domain. Third-party sites that offer to submit a Radaris removal on your behalf are not the official process.
Copy and save your profile URL before you start. Once you leave the profile page and open the removal form, you may not have easy access to the original URL. Keep it in a note alongside your tracking checklist.
Complete the process in one session if possible. Starting the form and leaving partway through may require you to begin again from Step 1.
Note the email address you used. If you need to follow up with Radaris support, having the exact email address you submitted with will be useful context.
Frequently asked questions
How do I opt out of Radaris?
Go to Radaris's official Information Control and Removal Service page. Find your profile on the Radaris people search first and copy the profile URL from your browser's address bar. Paste that URL into the removal form, click Next, enter your email address, complete the Google reCAPTCHA check if shown, and click Submit. Official help documentation indicates a verification email may be sent after submission. Follow the instructions in that email and any current on-page guidance to complete the process.
Is the Radaris removal process free?
The standard removal request through the official Information Control and Removal Service does not require payment or account creation.
Why does Radaris call removal a courtesy?
Radaris's official page notes that public records are not federally required to be deleted. This means Radaris is not legally obligated to remove listings compiled from public record sources. Removal is offered as a discretionary accommodation rather than a legal requirement, which is why the official page describes it as a courtesy.
Do I need a Radaris account to submit a removal request?
No. The verified removal form requires only your profile URL and email address. Account login or creation is not required at the pre-Submit stage observed in the source evidence.
Can my Radaris listing come back after I remove it?
Yes. Radaris aggregates data from third-party sources. New records that arrive after your removal request may generate a new listing if they are not matched to an existing suppression. If your profile reappears, going through the removal process again for the new listing is the appropriate response.
Does this remove my information from other websites?
No. A Radaris removal request only addresses your listing on Radaris. Other data broker websites each have their own separate processes. The data broker opt-out hub provides broader context on approaching multiple sites.
What if I have more than one profile on Radaris?
Each profile has its own URL and requires a separate removal request. Locate each additional listing on Radaris, copy its profile URL, and submit a separate form for each one.
What this guide does not do
This is a plain-language procedural guide based on verified source evidence for the pre-Submit stage of the Radaris removal process. Before relying on it, please understand what it does and does not cover.
- It is not legal advice. Nothing here constitutes legal counsel or a legal remedy. If you have a specific legal concern about your data or privacy rights, consult a qualified attorney.
- It does not perform the removal for you. You must complete every step yourself on Radaris's official website. This guide describes what to do; it does not act on your behalf.
- It does not promise removal. Phrasing like "request removal" and "courtesy removal" in this guide describes what you are asking Radaris to do, not a promised outcome.
- It does not cover post-Submit steps. The source evidence stops at the pre-Submit stage. What appears on screen after Submit, and what any verification email contains, were not captured. Follow current official Radaris instructions at those stages.
- It does not cover every Radaris data surface. The removal form addresses People Search profile listings. Other Radaris products or features may not be affected by this process.
- It does not cover other data brokers. Each data broker has its own separate opt-out process. See the data broker opt-out hub for broader context.
- It does not substitute for Radaris's official support. If you encounter an issue the removal form does not resolve, Radaris support is the appropriate contact.
- It may become outdated. Radaris may change its removal form, workflow, or policies. Always follow the current instructions shown on the official Radaris pages rather than treating any specific step description here as permanent.
