How to Delete Your Radaris Account

A step-by-step guide to deleting your Radaris account and removing your personal profile, plus what to expect after the data broker processes your request.

To delete a Radaris account, sign in, open your account settings and look for the option to close or delete the account. Deleting the account is separate from removing the public profile that Radaris displays about you, so you will usually need to do both. This guide covers each part in order.

Account deletion versus profile removal

Radaris draws a line between two things that sound the same but are not:

• An account is the login you created if you ever registered with the site, for example to run a search or manage a listing.
• A public profile is the page Radaris publishes about you, built from data it collected. This exists whether or not you ever made an account.

Closing your account does not remove your public profile. If your goal is to get your name, address and phone number off the site, you need the removal process, not just the account deletion. Most people want both, so we cover them separately below.

How to delete your Radaris account

1. Go to the Radaris website and sign in with the email and password you used to register.
2. Open your account or profile settings from the menu, usually found under your name or account icon.
3. Look for an option labelled to close, delete or deactivate the account. It is often near the bottom of the settings or privacy page.
4. Follow the prompts. You may be asked to confirm your password or respond to a confirmation email.
5. Check for a confirmation message or email. Keep it in case you need proof later.

If you cannot find a delete option in the settings, use the site's contact or support channel to request account closure directly. Ask them to confirm in writing once it is done.

How to remove your public Radaris profile

This is the part that takes your personal information off the public listing. The steps below are the general shape of the process. The exact wording of buttons and pages can change, so follow the equivalent option if a label differs.

1. Find your own listing on Radaris by searching your name, and narrow the results by city or age until you see the correct record.
2. Open your profile page and note the details it shows. Confirm it is you and not someone with the same name.
3. Look for a control on the profile to manage or remove the information. Radaris typically routes this through its privacy or information-control section rather than a single delete button.
4. Start the removal request and follow each step. You will usually need to identify the specific record you want taken down.
5. Provide any verification the site asks for. This often includes an email address so they can send a confirmation link, and sometimes a phone step.
6. Complete the confirmation. If a link is emailed to you, open it and finish the process there. The request is not active until you confirm.
7. Save the confirmation page or message. Note the date so you can check back.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents can also send a formal deletion request asking the company to delete the personal information it holds. If the on-site process does not remove everything, use the site's privacy contact to make this request in writing and state clearly that you are exercising your CCPA rights.

What to expect after you submit

Processing is not instant. It can take some time for the listing to disappear from the site and from search engine results, which cache pages separately. If the page still shows in a search after the listing is gone, that is usually the cached copy catching up rather than a failed removal.

Be realistic about how long removal lasts. Data brokers like Radaris rebuild their records from upstream feeds: other data suppliers, marketing lists and aggregated sources. Even after a successful removal, your profile can reappear within a few months as those feeds refresh. This is normal across the industry, not a sign you did something wrong. Plan to repeat the check every few months.

What cannot be removed

Some information sits on top of public records, and those cannot be deleted through any opt-out. This includes:

• Court filings and case records
• Property ownership and deed records
• Corporate and business registrations
• Voter registration rolls, where public by law

These records are public by law. A broker can be made to stop republishing its own compiled listing, but the underlying public record stays where it is held by the relevant authority. If a Radaris page is built mainly from public-record data, expect the source record to remain even after the Radaris listing comes down.

If your profile reappears

When a listing comes back, treat it as a fresh removal. Search for the new profile, confirm it is you, and run through the removal steps again. Keep a simple record of each date you submitted a request. That history is useful if you ever need to show a pattern of non-compliance.

Removing yourself once is the easy part. The ongoing work is checking back and resubmitting when records rebuild.

Doing this at scale

Radaris is one site among many, and the same personal details often appear across dozens of similar people-search services. Removing yourself from each one by hand, then repeating it every few months, takes real time.

Vanish is a Mac app that automates this. It scans for the brokers publishing your information and sends CCPA deletion demands on your behalf, then keeps checking as listings reappear. It is one way to handle the repeat work without doing every site manually. You can also continue entirely by hand using the steps above.

Quick summary

• Delete the account through settings, or ask support to close it.
• Remove the public profile separately through the site's information-control process and confirm by email.
• Save every confirmation and note the date.
• Expect listings to return within months as feeds refresh, and repeat as needed.
• Public records themselves cannot be deleted.
