USPhoneBook Opt Out: How to Remove Your Number and Listing (2026)
USPhoneBook is a reverse phone lookup and people-search site. Type in a phone number, name or address and it can show who the number belongs to, where they live and who they are related to. It has a free opt-out. The steps below were read from USPhoneBook's own opt-out page on November 9, 2026.
How to opt out of USPhoneBook, step by step
- Go to USPhoneBook's opt-out page at usphonebook.com/removal and choose whether you are the person in the record or an authorized agent acting for them.
- Enter your first and last name (middle name is optional) and your email address, tick the box agreeing to receive emails about your request, and complete the CAPTCHA. Then click Begin Removal Process.
- Open the email USPhoneBook sends and click its link to the opt-out form. USPhoneBook says the email may take some time to arrive, and the link stops working after 24 hours, so request a new one if you miss it.
- Fill in the opt-out form so it matches the record you want removed, then submit it. USPhoneBook says leaving fields out or entering details that do not match will slow the opt-out down.
- USPhoneBook shows a confirmation page and sends a confirmation email. Its page says to allow 3 days for the request to be fully processed.

Timing, from USPhoneBook's page
The emailed link expires after 24 hours. After you submit the form, USPhoneBook says to allow 3 days for the request to be fully processed. Search for your number and name again after that.
Before you fill in the form
Look up your own phone number and name on USPhoneBook first and note exactly how the record shows your name, city and phone number. USPhoneBook asks that the form match the record you want opted out. If you have more than one number or old addresses, check each of them.
The CAPTCHA step is yours
USPhoneBook's form ends with a CAPTCHA, and the confirmation link goes to your inbox. Those are steps only you can complete. GhostVault never solves CAPTCHAs or confirms emails on anyone's behalf. If you use GhostVault, steps like these are flagged as ones that need you.
