Records Finder Opt Out Guide
RecordsFinder makes court documents, addresses, and contact information easy to find online, which can put your privacy at risk. You can take control by opting out through their removal process. To save time and ensure your information stays deleted, Vanish Me can automatically manage RecordsFinder removals for you.
What is Records Finder?
RecordsFinder is a data broker and public records aggregator that compiles court documents, driving histories, addresses, and contact details into searchable reports. It sources data from government agencies, public records, and commercial databases.
RecordsFinder positions itself as a tool for background checks, genealogy, or reconnecting with people. However, its easy public access to personal details has raised privacy concerns.
Because RecordsFinder updates its database often, removed profiles can reappear later. Opting out of RecordsFinder helps reduce your exposure and safeguard your private information.
How to Remove Your Information from Records Finder (Step by Step)
Step 1: Navigate to the Records Finder opt out page. Do this by heading over to RecordsFinder.com and scrolling down to the footer. Within the footer, you’ll see “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” - click that.
Step 2: Search for your record. Enter your name, city, and state to find your profile.
Step 3: Select the record that most closely matches your personal information. Once you select the check box, a red “Remove Data” button will pop up. Click that.
Step 4: Input your email address, then click “Submit”.
Step 5: Now, head over to your inbox for a confirmation email. Click “click here”. Once you do, you’ll be redirected to a confirmation page stating that your data removal request is being processed.
Step 6: Within a few days, you’ll receive an opt out confirmation email from Records Finder, like below.

How Long Does Records Finder Take to Remove Your Info?
RecordsFinder generally processes opt-out requests within 5–7 business days, but it may take up to 10 days for the deletion to appear across their database. Since they frequently update their records, your profile might resurface later. For hands-free, ongoing protection, Vanish Me can manage RecordsFinder removals for you.
More Brokers Still Have Your Information
Removing your details from Records Finder is an important milestone, but it doesn’t completely protect your privacy. Your personal data is often published across dozens of people-search sites, and each one requires its own opt-out request.
Here are a few other guides to help you continue the process:
