What is Fast People Search?
FastPeopleSearch is a free people search engine and data broker founded in 2015. It aggregates personal information from public records, phone directories, and online databases, making it easy for anyone to look up names, phone numbers, or addresses.
A typical FastPeopleSearch profile may display current and past addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and sometimes links to other data sources. The site markets itself as a tool for reconnecting with people or verifying unknown callers. However, because the information is available to anyone without restriction, many see it as a serious privacy concern.
FastPeopleSearch has also drawn criticism for how quickly it republishes information after updates, making it difficult to stay fully removed. While useful for casual searches, the site’s exposure of sensitive data makes it a target for those seeking to reduce their digital footprint.
How to Remove Your Information from Fast People Search (Step by Step)
Step 1: Go to the FastPeopleSearch opt-out page. Fill out all of the information and submit. Then, you’ll see the confirmation page that states your verification email has been sent.
Step 2: Wait until you receive an email from FastPeopleSearch. Once you do, click the blue button to continue on with the removal process and fill out the removal form.
Step 3: Next, you’re going to fill out their “Do Not Sell” form. Record your responses, fill out the recaptha, and click “submit”.
Step 4: Once you’ve submitted the removal request, you’ll receive the following confirmation page.
Step 5: Then, you’ll receive the following email from Fast People Search that the removal is being processed/the request has been received.
Step 6: Days later, you’ll receive a confirmation email from Fast People Search that your removal request was completed.
How Long Does Fast People Search Take to Remove Your Info?
FastPeopleSearch usually processes opt-out requests within 24–48 hours, though it may take up to a week for your listing to fully disappear from search results. Because the site frequently refreshes its database, your profile may reappear in the future. If that happens, you’ll need to repeat the process. To avoid the hassle, Vanish Me can automatically handle FastPeopleSearch removals and re-submit requests whenever your data comes back.
