Data removal. Updated 2026-09-13. About 5 minutes to read.
Remove every FastPeopleSearch record that shows your address or phone number, confirm each email link, then search your number again on Google and FastPeopleSearch every 90 days.
FastPeopleSearch is a free US people-search site. With no paywall and no sign-up, anyone can type in your name, phone number or address and see your age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and relatives. Its pages also rank well on Google, which is why a search for your mobile number can lead straight to your home address.
Removal is free and usually takes about five minutes per record. You find your record, request removal, and confirm through an email link. The steps below cover both versions of the form you might see, how to find duplicate records, and how to stop Google showing the old page.
A FastPeopleSearch record typically lists your full name and aliases, age, current address, previous addresses, landline and mobile numbers, email addresses, relatives and associates, and sometimes property details. The site says its data comes from public records and other publicly available sources, which in practice means property and court records, phone directory data and commercial data feeds.
It offers four searches: name, reverse phone, reverse address and email. A record found by one search is usually the same record found by the others, but people who have moved or changed numbers often have more than one.
The removal page has changed several times. You will see one of two versions, and both end with an email confirmation.
Use an email alias for removals and keep the confirmation emails. They show the date of your request if a record reappears or you need to escalate.
Some removal services report that FastPeopleSearch is less willing to honour requests from residents of US states without a comprehensive consumer privacy law. If you are refused, reply to the email stating which state you live in, and if your state has such a law, such as California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut or Texas, say that you are exercising your right to deletion under it.
California residents have an extra route. DROP, run by the California Privacy Protection Agency at privacy.ca.gov/drop, sends one deletion request to every registered data broker, and brokers have had to process it at least every 45 days since 1 August 2026.
Yes. You do not need an account or a payment. You only need an email address to confirm the request.
Many records disappear within a few hours of confirming the email, and the site says removal completes within 72 hours.
It removes that record, which is what a reverse phone search returns. If your number also appears on a relative's record or a second record of yours, remove or check those too, then search the number again.
The site regularly imports new data. When a record is rebuilt from new source data, it may not be matched to your removal. Search again every 90 days and after you move or change numbers.
Yes, in the US it is generally legal to publish information drawn from public records. The site says it is not a consumer reporting agency, so its data must not be used for hiring, renting or credit decisions.
