NumLookup (numlookup.com) runs two searches on one site. Its reverse phone lookup takes a number and, by its own description, returns the owner's name, address, social media, carrier and line type. Its people search takes a full name plus a city or state and shows age and aliases, known phone numbers and email addresses, an address history and relatives.
The opt-out follows the same split. It is one form with a PHONE tab and a NAME tab, and the page asks you to select the right tab before submitting, so each request covers one or the other.
Steps checked against NumLookup's live opt-out page, FAQ and privacy policy on October 19, 2026. We read the pages; we did not submit the form, so we can't show the screen that follows it.
Phone listing, name listing, or both?
- PHONE is for what someone sees when they type in your number. The country menu starts on the USA and also lists Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- NAME is for what someone sees when they search your name. It takes your full name (first and last; the form rejects a single word) and a US state from a drop-down list.
Nothing on the page says a phone request also clears your name listing, or the other way round. If both searches show you, file both.
How to remove yourself from NumLookup
- Open numlookup.com/opt_out. The footer link "Do Not Sell / Information Opt Out" goes to NumLookup's About page, whose "Opt out now" link brings you to the same form.
- For a phone listing, stay on PHONE, check the country and type the number.
- For a name listing, switch to NAME, type your full name and pick your state.
- Tick the "I'm not a robot" box and click Remove My Info.
- Come back for each other request: every number you have used, and each name or state your listing appears under.
The form has no email field, so there is no address for a confirmation to go to. Take a screenshot of each request, with the date, before you leave the page. The page also embeds a NumLookup video on how to opt out.
How long does it take?
NumLookup's privacy policy publishes its own figures. In 2024 it says it received 94,071 opt-out requests, approved all of them, and took under 20 days on average to complete them; in 2023 it reports 31,826 requests averaging under 30 days. Those are averages NumLookup reports about itself, not a deadline, so check again after about three weeks.
Checking your listing afterwards
Two lines from NumLookup's FAQ help you read what you see:
- A partly hidden name is not a removal. The FAQ says you get one free phone lookup a day without signing up, and that an owner name shown partly hidden usually means you've reached that daily limit.
- "This Phone Number is Blocked" is a better sign. The FAQ gives an owner asking to have their information removed as one of the reasons that message appears.
For your name, search it with your state in a private browsing window and look for your listing.
If it doesn't work
- Email hello@numlookup.com. NumLookup's About page gives it, with +1 (844) 405-2145, for anyone who wants their info removed, and the privacy policy sends requests to see or correct your information to the same address.
- Filing as a covered official? The About page asks that all removal requests for "covered officials and individuals" go to hello@numlookup.com.
- Keep your screenshots with the dates, so a follow-up email can say exactly what you filed and when.
Why your listing can come back
NumLookup's privacy policy lists where its data comes from: phone directories, the wider internet, consumer profiles given to survey companies, email databases, property records such as deeds, public social profiles and business directories. The opt-out removes your listing from NumLookup's search results; it doesn't touch any of those sources. A new number, a move or a new spelling of your name can surface as a fresh listing, so run the matching tab again after any of those changes.
NumLookup isn't one of the sites in Defynta's free scan, so the checks above are yours to do. The scan covers the other people-search sites we track, where the same phone and property records tend to show up.
Who runs NumLookup. The privacy policy names NumLookup LLC. California's data broker registry (read October 19, 2026) lists NumLookup LLC. with an Atlanta, Georgia address. If you live in California, the state's free DROP tool sends one deletion request to the brokers on that registry; see our California Delete Act guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is the NumLookup opt-out free?
Yes. The form asks for no payment, and you don't need to sign in to use it.
Does removing my number remove my name listing too?
The page doesn't say so. It treats phone and name as separate requests, so file one for each listing that shows you.
Is there a confirmation email?
The form never asks for an email address, so there is nothing to send one to. We didn't submit the form, so we can't say what the next screen shows. Your own dated screenshot is your record.
What about a listing for my child?
NumLookup's privacy policy says a public listing with information about someone under 18 is removed through the same opt-out tool. Separately, if NumLookup has collected personal information from someone under 18, it asks you to tell it at hello@numlookup.com.
On NumLookup your number and your name are two listings, and every other site keeps its own. See which of the sites we track list you with a free Defynta scan.
