FastPeopleSearch does exactly what its name promises: it lets anyone look up your home address, phone numbers, relatives, and address history, fast, and for free. No subscription, no account. That's convenient if you're the one searching, and alarming if you're the one being searched.
The site does offer a free self-service removal, and unlike some brokers, it even staffs a phone line for opt-outs. Here's the full process.
*Heads up (October 18, 2026): we could not load FastPeopleSearch's removal page to re-check the steps below. Its operator, Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, also runs USPhoneBook and SmartBackgroundChecks, and both of those now use a two-stage removal: a short first form, then a detailed form reached through an emailed link that expires in 24 hours. If FastPeopleSearch shows you that kind of form instead, our USPhoneBook steps describe it.*
What is FastPeopleSearch?
FastPeopleSearch is a free people-search site built on public records and commercial data feeds. It's part of a family of near-identical free lookup sites (its design and data overlap heavily with sites like SearchPeopleFree and USPhoneBook), which is why removing yourself from one and not the others leaves you just as exposed.
A typical FastPeopleSearch record includes:
- Full name, age, and aliases
- Current home address and past addresses
- Cell phone and landline numbers
- Email addresses
- Relatives and associates, linked to their own records
Because everything is free to view, this is a favorite tool for skip tracers, harassers, and social-engineering scammers, anyone who wants a quick dossier without leaving a payment trail.
Before you start
- Use an email address you can access immediately; a confirmation click is mandatory. A masked or secondary address works and keeps your primary email private.
- Note your previous addresses and name variations. People who've moved a lot often find two or three separate records.
How to remove yourself from FastPeopleSearch, step by step
Step 1: Open the removal page
Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal. Alternatively, scroll to the site footer and click "Do Not Sell My Personal Information."
Step 2: Start the removal process
Enter your email address, tick the box agreeing to the terms, complete the CAPTCHA, and click "Begin Removal Process."
Step 3: Find your record
Search your full name with your city and state. Browse the results and click "View Free Details" on the listing that matches you. Verify it's really you, check the age, the address history, and the listed relatives.
Step 4: Remove the record
On your record page, click "Remove My Record." This queues your opt-out request.
Step 5: Confirm by email
Watch your inbox for a message from FastPeopleSearch and click the removal link inside (it reads like "Click here to remove [your name]"). The request is not processed until you confirm.
Step 6: Repeat as needed
One request covers one record. If you spotted multiple listings (old addresses, a maiden name, a misspelled variant), run the process again for each one.
Prefer the phone?
FastPeopleSearch also handles removals by phone at (866) 679-8725. One tip if you call: only give the representative information the site already publishes about you (name, listed addresses, age). There's no reason to hand a data broker new details it doesn't have.
How long does removal take?
Confirmed removals are typically processed within 72 hours. Most disappear faster.
Verify the removal
After three days, search yourself again in a private browsing window, by name, then by phone number, then by address. If any record of yours survives, submit a fresh removal for that specific listing.
Why your listing can come back
FastPeopleSearch continuously rebuilds its database from public records and third-party data sources. Your removal suppresses the record that existed when you filed it. Move house, get a new phone number, or simply wait for the next bulk data refresh, and a new record can appear that your old opt-out doesn't cover.
The fix is monitoring, not hope: re-check the site every couple of months, or hand it to Defynta's Web Watcher. Silver subscribers can turn on monitoring, which rescans FastPeopleSearch and the other sites we read every 30 days by default and emails you when a listing comes back.
Who runs FastPeopleSearch. California's data broker registry (read October 18, 2026) lists it among the websites of Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, together with AdvancedBackgroundChecks, CyberBackgroundChecks, FastBackgroundCheck, PeopleSearchNow, PhoneBooks.com, SearchPeopleFree, SmartBackgroundChecks, USA People Search and USPhoneBook. The ones we have guides for each have their own removal form, so file each one that lists you rather than counting on one removal to cover the rest. The registry entry says an opt-out of sale made on any of the company's sites applies across all of them, but it does not say a listing removed on one comes off the others.

Frequently asked questions
Is FastPeopleSearch removal free?
Yes, both the web form and the phone line are free. You never need to pay or create an account to opt out.
How many records will I have?
Usually one per distinct name/location combination the site's data sources know about. Two or three records is common for people who've moved between states. Search thoroughly before you assume you're done.
Will this remove my info from other people-search sites?
Not your listings, and that's the frustrating reality of this industry. Each site has its own removal form; California's registry entry for FastPeopleSearch's operator says only that an opt-out of sale on one of its sites applies across all of them. It's also why we built a single scan that checks the sites we track at once.
My relatives still show my address on their listings. Can I fix that?
Partially. Removing your record removes your page, but family members' records may still reference shared addresses. The durable fix is for relatives to opt out too, Defynta's scan flags relatives who appear in your results and lets you send them a removal invite in one click.
