What you need

Steps

  1. Search Whitepages for your name and copy the address of your listing.
  2. Paste it into the suppression request form and choose a reason.
  3. Whitepages calls you with a code to enter on screen. That finishes the request.

Open Whitepages's opt-out page

The same request removes you from 411.com.

Will it come back?

Often, yes. People-search sites keep buying fresh data, so listings can reappear after a few months. Search for your name on the site again about 3 months after it's removed. Sorrel Identity's free dashboard reminds you when it's time.
