PeopleSearch123 is a small people-search site with a big-search-engine footprint: its listings (your name, age, addresses, phone numbers, relatives) index well, so it can end up on the first page when someone googles you, right next to brokers a hundred times its size.
It runs on the same opt-out platform as several sibling sites (PrivateRecords.net and BackgroundCheckers.net among them), which makes the removal familiar if you've done one of those, but note it must still be done separately here: same software, different database.
Steps checked against PeopleSearch123's live Privacy Requests page on October 16, 2026. We read the form; we did not submit it, so timelines are as PeopleSearch123 states them.
What is PeopleSearch123?
PeopleSearch123 aggregates public records into free-to-preview people listings:
- Full name, age, and aliases
- Current and previous addresses
- Phone numbers
- Relatives and possible associates
Before you start
- Know which option you want. "Your Privacy Choices" stops PeopleSearch123 selling or sharing your data but does not remove a listing. "Remove My Information" is the one that stops your record being returned.
- Have your date of birth, city, ZIP code and state ready. All are required for a removal, along with your first and last name. The page says it keeps them on file only to keep the record suppressed and never sells or shares them.
- Use an email you can open. Nothing is removed until you click the confirmation link PeopleSearch123 emails you. A masked or secondary address works.
How to remove yourself from PeopleSearch123, step by step
Step 1: Open the Privacy Requests page
Go to peoplesearch123.com and click "Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Info" in the footer. It opens a Privacy Requests page that replaced the older opt-out search.
Step 2: Choose "Remove My Information"
The page asks what you want to do. Pick Remove My Information. (Your Privacy Choices is a do-not-sell request: no confirmation email, applied within 15 business days, and your listing stays up.)
Step 3: Describe the person in the listing
Enter first name, last name, date of birth, city, ZIP code and state, exactly as they apply to the listing. Middle initial is optional.
Step 4: Give a confirmation email and submit
Enter the email address the confirmation link should go to. It doesn't have to be the listed person's address. Click Submit.
Step 5: Click the confirmation link
Open the email from PeopleSearch123 and click the link. Until you do, nothing is removed.
Step 6: Repeat for other records
Name variants and old locations may need their own request.
Filing for someone else
An authorized agent can file either request. For Remove My Information, tick "I'm submitting this on behalf of the person in the listing" and attach the person's signed authorization as a PDF (up to 10 MB). The confirmation email can be the agent's own. PeopleSearch123 also takes agent requests by phone at (833) 710-0305.
How long does removal take?
PeopleSearch123 says it acknowledges requests within 10 business days and completes them within 45 calendar days, counted from the day you submit. Once the link is clicked, it stops returning the person in new searches, in reports members already have access to, and in matching records it takes in later. It can't recall a copy someone already downloaded.
If the link never arrives, or you'd rather not use the page, PeopleSearch123 says you can call (833) 710-0305 to complete the request.
Verify the removal
After the confirmation, search your name (plus city) on peoplesearch123.com in a private browsing window, and check again before the 45-day deadline. Also google your name site:peoplesearch123.com; a lingering Google result for a dead listing is just stale cache and clears within a few weeks.
Why your listing can come back
The site replenishes from the standard public-records pipeline. New addresses and numbers become new records that your old opt-out never matched. And because you'll never spontaneously remember to re-check a site called PeopleSearch123, reappearance here tends to go unnoticed the longest.
So put a re-check on your calendar. Defynta's free scan includes a link to PeopleSearch123 so you can check it yourself, but we do not read PeopleSearch123 automatically yet, so Web Watcher monitoring cannot alert you about this site.
Who runs PeopleSearch123. California's data broker registry (read October 18, 2026) lists it under Private Records LLC, together with PrivateRecords.net, BackgroundCheckers.net and PersonSearchers.com. One company, but each site takes its own request.

Frequently asked questions
Is the opt-out free?
Yes, free, and no account is needed. The removal itself can take up to 45 days.
I already removed myself from PrivateRecords.net. Am I done here?
No. The opt-out pages look nearly identical because the sites share software, but each maintains its own records and processes its own requests. Submit here separately.
Are PeopleSearch123, PeopleSearchNow, and PeopleSearch.com the same company?
No, three different operations that happen to share a keyword. Each has its own guide (linked above) and its own removal.
The site's search can't find my record but I saw it last week. What happened?
Either it was already suppressed (records drop during refreshes too), or it's filed under a variant, try again with a middle initial or a previous state before concluding you're clear.
