How to remove yourself from USPhoneBook

What USPhoneBook shows about you

USPhoneBook is a free reverse-phone and people-search site. Its opt-out is a short email-link process described on its own page.

A listing there can include your name, phone numbers, addresses and relatives, with a focus on reverse phone lookup. The exact fields vary from person to person, and the free view usually shows less than a paid one.

How we checked this guide

We read USPhoneBook's own opt-out page on October 31, 2026. It redirected from usphonebook.com/opt-out to usphonebook.com/removal, and the steps below follow what it says there. Last checked October 31, 2026.

How to remove yourself from USPhoneBook for free

The free route is the one to try first. Here are the steps, in order. The official address is usphonebook.com/opt-out.

• Go to usphonebook.com/opt-out. It redirects to USPhoneBook's removal page.
• Enter your email address and your name and complete the captcha. USPhoneBook says it will send a link to that address that takes you to the opt-out form.
• Click the link in the email. USPhoneBook says it may take some time to arrive, and that if you wait more than 24 hours to click it you need to request a new one.
• Fill in the form. USPhoneBook says the details should match the record you want opted out, and that omitting information or giving inaccurate information will only hinder the process.
• You are taken to a confirmation page and you also receive a confirmation email.
• Search for yourself again after a few days. If another record shows your details, repeat the process for it.

Use a dedicated email address for this and not your main one, and do not send a copy of your ID unless you have confirmed you are on the real site and there is no other way. Keep a spreadsheet with the date and the listing address for each request.

How long does USPhoneBook removal take?

USPhoneBook's own opt-out page says to allow 3 days for your request to be fully processed.

Things to know before you start

• The page is framed around state privacy rights and says depending on your state you may have the right to opt out of sale and sharing of certain information. Its form is available from the page regardless.
• USPhoneBook says it will not use information gathered during the process for anything other than processing your request.
• Phone numbers can appear in more than one record. Search for each of your numbers after you opt out.

Will your USPhoneBook listing come back?

It can. People-search sites build listings from public records and purchased data, and they refresh that data. If your information shows up in a new batch, a listing you removed can be created again. We are not aware of a reliable published figure for how often that happens, so be suspicious of anyone who quotes one.

A sensible routine is to search for yourself a few weeks after your request, then every few months. If you move, change your phone number or buy a home, expect new records. The same record also sits on many other sites, so clearing USPhoneBook does not clear the rest. Our guide to removing personal information from the internet covers the other sites, Google results and the legal tools that exist where you live.

If you would rather not do it yourself

Doing this by hand across many sites, then repeating it, is tedious. Data-removal services sell that repetition as a subscription. One of them is DeleteMe, the service we link, and we earn a commission if you sign up through the links marked Affiliate link. We have not tested DeleteMe, and the details below come from DeleteMe's own pages as we read them on October 30, 2026.

DeleteMe's help article listing the sites it removes from on its Standard US plan includes usphonebook.com, as we saw in a search result for that page. We could not open the full article, and coverage can change, so check DeleteMe's current list before you buy.

• What it says it does: you give it your details, and according to its site its team searches hundreds of data brokers and people-search sites, submits opt-out and removal requests and keeps monitoring and removing your information regularly, all year long.
• Price: DeleteMe's help center describes the solo plan as about $11 a month, billed annually at $129, for one person for one year. Plans renew automatically unless you cancel, and prices change, so check the live page.
• Our link's discount: the page our US link opens advertises 20% off all privacy protection plans with the code PARTNER20, valid for new members only on USA consumer plans. See the current DeleteMe offer (Affiliate link).

Removal services reduce how easy you are to find. They do not make you anonymous and they do not promise that a listing will never return. If you decide to look at it, see the DeleteMe plans (Affiliate link). If you prefer not to pay, the free steps above are enough to do the job for USPhoneBook.
