How to Remove Info From Radaris
A step-by-step guide to removing your personal information from Radaris, including the opt-out process, what stays public, and why listings return.
To remove your information from Radaris, find your listing on the site, use its removal page to request deletion, and confirm the request through the email or verification step Radaris sends back. The process is free and takes a few minutes to start, though the listing can take a while to disappear and may return later.
Below is the full method, plus what Radaris can and cannot take down.
Before you start
Radaris pulls its profiles from public records, marketing databases and other data brokers. That has two consequences worth knowing up front.
- You can get a specific profile removed, but Radaris rebuilds its records from the same upstream feeds. A new listing often reappears within a few months, sometimes under a slightly different spelling or an old address.
- Information that is public by law cannot be deleted at the source. Court filings, property deeds, corporate registrations and voter roll entries are public records. Radaris can hide its display of them, but the underlying records remain available elsewhere.
So treat this as suppression you may need to repeat, not a one-time fix.
Find your Radaris profile first
You cannot remove a listing you have not located. Start by searching for yourself.
- Go to the Radaris website and search for your full name. Add your city or state to narrow the results.
- Open the profile that matches you. Check the age, past addresses and listed relatives to confirm it is yours and not a namesake.
- Copy the web address of that profile page. You will likely need it to point the removal request at the correct record.
If you find more than one profile, note each one. People often appear multiple times because of old addresses or name variants. Each separate listing needs its own request.
How to remove your info from Radaris
Radaris handles removals through an opt-out or information control process on its own site. The exact page name and layout change from time to time, so look for a link labelled for privacy, opt-out, or removing a listing. It is usually in the site footer or reachable from the profile itself.
- Open the Radaris removal or opt-out page. If you cannot find a direct link, look in the footer for a privacy or control information option.
- Paste or select the profile you want removed. If the page asks you to search again, use the same name and location you used earlier so you land on the right record.
- Follow the prompts to request that the listing be made private or removed. You will normally be asked to confirm that the profile is yours.
- Provide a contact method for verification. Radaris typically sends a confirmation link or code to an email address or phone number. Use one you can access immediately.
- Complete the verification step. The request is usually not processed until you confirm it this way. If you skip this, nothing happens.
- Save a copy of any confirmation page or message. Note the date and the profile address. This is useful if the listing returns and you need to show you already asked.
After you confirm, the listing may not vanish straight away. Give it time to clear from the live site. If it is still showing after a reasonable wait, repeat the request and keep your confirmation records.
Make a CCPA deletion request
If you are a California resident, you have a legal right to ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Radaris, like other data brokers, must provide a way to make this kind of request.
- Look for a privacy rights or data request option on the Radaris site, separate from the basic opt-out.
- State clearly that you are exercising your right to deletion of your personal information.
- Give only the details needed to find your records. The company may ask you to verify your identity before acting.
- Keep a dated copy of what you sent and any reply.
People outside California can still send the same request. Many brokers apply the process to everyone rather than sorting by location, though they are not always legally required to.
Check for related listings
Radaris is one site among many. The same records that feed it also feed other people-search services. Removing your Radaris profile does nothing to the copies held elsewhere.
After you finish with Radaris, search your name on a few other people-search sites. If you find yourself, each one has its own opt-out process you will need to follow separately. This is slow work, but it is the only way to reduce your overall exposure rather than clearing one page.
What you cannot remove
Be realistic about the limits.
- Public records stay public. You can suppress how Radaris displays a court case or property record, but you cannot delete the record itself. It lives with the court, county or agency that created it.
- Removal is not permanent. Because brokers refresh from upstream sources, a cleared profile can return. Plan to re-check every few months.
- One request covers one site. There is no central switch that removes you from every broker at once.
Keep a record and re-check
Treat removal as maintenance. Set a reminder to search for yourself every few months. When a listing reappears, you already know the steps, and your saved confirmations make the repeat request faster.
Doing this across many brokers by hand takes time. Vanish is a Mac app that finds where data brokers publish your personal information and sends CCPA deletion demands for you, then watches for listings that come back. It is one way to automate the repetitive part, if you would rather not track every site yourself.
Whether you do it by hand or with a tool, the principle is the same. Find each listing, request removal, verify it, and check again later.
Common questions
Is the Radaris opt-out free?
Yes. Requesting removal of your own listing is free. You should not need to pay or buy anything to opt out or to make a deletion request.
How long does Radaris take to remove a listing?
It varies. Some requests clear within days of verification, others take longer. If your profile is still showing after a reasonable wait, repeat the request and keep your confirmation records.
Why has my information come back on Radaris?
Data brokers rebuild their records from public records, marketing databases and other brokers. Even after a successful removal, a new profile can reappear within a few months from these upstream feeds.
Can I remove public records from Radaris?
You can ask Radaris to stop displaying them, but you cannot delete the underlying records. Court filings, property deeds, corporate registrations and voter rolls are public by law and remain available at their source.
Does removing my Radaris profile remove me from other sites?
No. Each people-search site holds its own copy of your data and has its own opt-out. You need to search for yourself on other sites and follow each one's removal process separately.
Doing this for all 54 brokers by hand?
Vanish finds every listing about a person, sends the deletion demands from their own email, then re-checks later and tells you which ones actually came down. The scan is free — you only pay if there is something worth removing.
