Remove yourself from Public Information Services

Estimated time: 10 minutes. Difficulty: easy.

Steps

  1. Open the PublicInfoServices privacy-request page (it is the "Remove Me From Website" link under Customer Support in their footer) and click "Get Started".
  2. Enter your first name, last name, age and state, solve the CAPTCHA and click Continue.
  3. Find your record in the results — check age and locations — and click "Remove" under it.
  4. Enter an email address, tick the verification box, solve the second CAPTCHA and click Continue. You get an on-screen "request submitted" notice.
  5. Open the verification email from PublicInfoServices (check spam) and click the link. No phone number or ID needed.
  6. They say removal takes "a few days". Search publicinfoservices.com again after a week to confirm. Stuck? Call 1-800-617-3169.
PublicInfoServices (Information Data Resources) uses exactly the same removal flow as SpyFly.com, but each site needs its own opt-out. It is a paid-report site that still lists your name, age and cities for free. One request per listing — repeat for old addresses and name variations, and re-check every few months.
