How to Remove Your Information from USPhoneBook
USPhoneBook is a reverse-phone-lookup and people-search site that surfaces names, addresses, and phone numbers pulled from public records. Its opt-out form is free and verified by email rather than a phone call, but a completed request doesn't always stay that way — here's the real process, and where it tends to fall short.
Quick overview
- USPhoneBook is a people-search site tied to a Sacramento-area LLC, according to public BBB filings — see who actually runs it.
- The opt-out form is free and verified by email, not a phone call — here's the exact process.
- BBB complaints show listings can reappear after a completed opt-out — here's why.
- USPhoneBook states removals process within about 72 hours of email verification, though individual reports vary — some clear in half a day, others take noticeably longer. More on what to expect.
What is USPhoneBook
USPhoneBook is a reverse-phone-lookup and people-search platform that compiles names, current and past addresses, phone numbers, and relatives from public records into searchable profiles. Multiple sources describe the core lookup as free to use, and no paid membership tier gating removal has turned up in our research.
Public BBB filings — two independent regional profiles that agree with each other — tie usphonebook.com to a limited liability company formed in July 2017, with Robert Miller listed as the responsible contact. The site carries a BBB rating of B, is not a BBB-accredited business, and has dozens of complaints on file, many centered on listings being difficult to fully clear.
How to remove yourself
This is free and doesn't require a phone call — just a name/address/phone match and an email confirmation.
- 1
Find your listing
Go to usphonebook.com/opt-out (linked from the site footer as "Do Not Sell My Personal Information") and search by name, phone number, or address to locate your record.
- 2
Submit the removal request
Open your listing, click "Remove Record," enter an email address, and complete the CAPTCHA.
- 3
Verify by email
Click the confirmation link sent to your email within 24 hours to finalize the request. USPhoneBook states removals process within about 72 hours after verification, though reports on the actual wait vary.
If it doesn't fully solve the problem
A recurring theme in USPhoneBook's BBB complaint history is a listing that reappears, or never fully disappears, after a removal request was submitted and confirmed. That tracks with how these sites operate generally: they continuously re-pull from public records, so a single opt-out clears what's visible today, not what gets re-added tomorrow.
USPhoneBook also isn't the only place the same underlying record tends to surface — the same name, address, and phone number combination commonly shows up on other people-search sites like FastPeopleSearch too, each requiring its own separate opt-out. Between the re-listing pattern and the multi-site spread, one-time manual opt-outs tend to need repeating — which is exactly the gap ongoing monitoring across the full broker list is built to close.
Common questions
Does USPhoneBook require phone verification like some other broker sites?
No — USPhoneBook verifies opt-out requests by email, not a phone call, unlike some other broker sites. After you find your listing and click "Remove Record," you enter an email address and complete a CAPTCHA; USPhoneBook then sends a confirmation link that expires within 24 hours, and clicking it finalizes the removal request.
Do I need to pay USPhoneBook to get my listing removed?
No. Multiple independent sources describe USPhoneBook's core lookup as free, and no paid membership tier gating removal has turned up in our research. The opt-out form itself doesn't require payment or a subscription — you search by name, phone number, or address, then submit the free removal request and verify by email.
What do people actually complain about with USPhoneBook?
The Better Business Bureau has over 100 complaints on file for USPhoneBook.com, and privacy concerns are the recurring theme — several describe submitting a formal opt-out request through the site's own removal channels and finding their personal data still displayed afterward. That pattern is consistent with the reappearance issue described above.
Will my information come back after I opt out?
It can — a recurring theme in USPhoneBook's BBB complaints is a listing reappearing or not being fully cleared after a removal request, which lines up with how these sites continuously re-pull from public records rather than deleting your data permanently from their source pipeline.
