Official USA Opt Out Guide
Discovering your personal details on OfficialUSA can feel intrusive, especially when it includes your address history, phone number, voter registration information, or family associations. Fortunately, OfficialUSA allows users to request the removal of their information. This guide walks you through each step in a straightforward and easy-to-follow way. If you’d rather save time, Vanish Me can submit removals on your behalf and keep your information off these sites long-term.
What is Official USA?
OfficialUSA is a public information directory that compiles personal and household details from government databases, commercial data sources, and publicly accessible online records. The site includes a wide range of searchable listings, such as:
Names and addresses
Phone numbers
Voter registration lookup
Property ownership data
Birth, death, and marriage indexes
City, state, and ZIP databases
Public office and government listings
OfficialUSA’s goal is to serve as a broad online directory, but its scope means that your personal information can appear without your awareness or consent. The site pulls data from public record systems and third-party providers, so your details may be included even if you’ve never interacted with the platform directly.
Submitting an opt-out request helps ensure your information is removed from their website and no longer displayed in future searches.
How to Remove Your Information from Official USA (Step by Step)
Step 1: First, head over to the Official USA home page.
Step 2: Scroll all the way down to the footer and click the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link.
Step 3: Now you’re on their removal requests page. Submit your email to this page and click “next step”.
Step 4: Input your first and last name and click “find person”. This searches their database for your information.
Step 5: Browse through the search results until you find the profile that most closely matches your own information. Select it and then click “remove”
Step 6: Then, you’re done! 🎉

How Long Does Official USA Take to Remove Your Info?
Most users receive an immediate removal of information.
Keep in mind that OfficialUSA updates its pages periodically from public record sources, so removals aren't always permanent. If the underlying data provider republishes your information later, the record may reappear. If you want continuous monitoring and automated opt-outs, Vanish Me can manage the process for you.
Continue Protecting Your Privacy
Getting your information taken down from OfficialUSA is an important step, but it’s equally important to clean up your data across other major information distributors. Many large data brokers feed into each other’s systems, meaning your details could still be present elsewhere even after removal here. Consider reviewing these additional platforms:
NeighborWho – Publishes property details, homeowner information, and neighborhood data.
LexisNexis – A massive data analytics company used by insurers, courts, and background check firms.
CoreLogic (Cotality) – Specializes in real estate, mortgage, and property-related consumer information.
Equifax Marketing – Part of Equifax’s consumer insights division, which aggregates demographic and behavioral data.
Experian Marketing – Distributes consumer marketing profiles to advertisers and data partners.
TransUnion Marketing – Provides targeted marketing datasets based on consumer behavior and credit-adjacent information.
Each of these companies stores different slices of your personal data. Cleaning up your presence across multiple brokers—or automating the entire process through Vanish Me—helps ensure long-term privacy and minimizes future exposure.
