Check if you are listed on RecordsFinder
RecordsFinder does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open recordsfinder.com, search your full name plus your state (and previous states), and copy the URL of the record that is you. The opt-out form usually asks for that URL or the same name and location.
What RecordsFinder typically shows
- Names with current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Criminal and arrest records, including mugshots
- Court records: bankruptcies, judgments, liens and traffic cases
- Property, asset and vehicle records
- Vital records: marriage, divorce, birth and death
An exposure report can help organize candidate listings before you work through the site's official steps.
Remove yourself from RecordsFinder
7 steps. Use the official site in a normal browser and follow its current instructions if a human check fails.
- 01
Find your listing first
Search recordsfinder.com by your name and state and open the preview of your record. Note the exact spelling of your name and the addresses shown. The removal form needs a name that matches the listing, so write it down exactly as the site displays it.
- 02
Open the official opt-out page
Go to recordsfinder.com/optout/ — the same page is linked in the site footer as "Opt Out." When we loaded it on October 5, 2026 the page was up, titled "Opt Out," with no CAPTCHA and no login required.
- 03
Enter your full name and state
Type your name exactly as it appears on the listing, and choose your state of residence. If you have moved, the record may be filed under a previous state, so try the state tied to the address on the listing.
- 04
Select your record and submit
Pick your record out of the matching results — take a second to confirm it is really you and not a same-named stranger — and submit the removal. Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation: RecordsFinder does not send a confirmation email, so this screenshot is your only proof the request went in.
- 05
Use the special lanes if they apply to you
If you are a judge, prosecutor, law-enforcement member or their immediate household member, email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject "Attention Covered Person Removal Request," your name, residence and email. For expunged or sealed records that still appear, email the same address with the subject "Attention Expungement Records."
- 06
Enable Global Privacy Control (optional)
RecordsFinder's privacy page says it honors Global Privacy Control signals and treats one as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Turning on GPC in your browser or privacy extension sends that signal automatically on every visit.
- 07
Re-check after a week
Search your name and state again about 7 days after submitting. If the listing still appears, resubmit using the exact name spelling from the record and keep the new screenshot. If it persists after two attempts, email privacy@recordsfinder.com.

What is RecordsFinder?
RecordsFinder is a public-records search website. It aggregates more than two billion records — criminal and court files, property data, driving records, vital records and contact details — from federal, state and local sources, and sells search reports to anyone who pays. You can search by name, phone number, email, address, social media user ID, VIN or license plate.
It is run by InfoPay, a data-broker company based in Boston that operates a family of similar public-records sites. RecordsFinder states it is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, so its reports are not supposed to be used for credit, employment, insurance or tenant screening. Your information appears because it exists in public records and data sources InfoPay aggregates, not because you created a profile.
What a RecordsFinder listing can show
- Names with current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Criminal and arrest records, including mugshots
- Court records: bankruptcies, judgments, liens and traffic cases
- Property, asset and vehicle records
- Vital records: marriage, divorce, birth and death
Who runs RecordsFinder, and which sites one request covers
RecordsFinder is operated by InfoPay, Inc., a data-broker company registered in Boston, Massachusetts. InfoPay runs a family of public-records search sites; CourtCaseFinder and StateRecords are examples. Each site has its own opt-out form, so removing yourself from RecordsFinder does not remove you from its sister sites. RecordsFinder lists privacy@recordsfinder.com for privacy requests and 800-433-0567 for phone support.
What is the recordsfinder.com opt-out removal process?
The recordsfinder.com opt-out is a short web form. When we loaded it on October 5, 2026 the page was up with no CAPTCHA. You enter your full name and state, pick your record out of the matching results, and submit; the listing is then suppressed from search results. No account or payment is needed, and no verification email is sent — the on-screen confirmation is your only receipt. The same page also handles state privacy-rights requests, Global Privacy Control, expunged-record questions and fast-track removal for covered court personnel.
How long it takes
Our verified experience with the RecordsFinder form is 3 to 7 business days. The site's privacy page states it responds to formal state data-subject-rights requests within 45 days. Because no confirmation email is sent, search your name and state again after about a week; if the listing still shows, resubmit with the exact name as it appears on the record and keep the new screenshot as evidence.
RecordsFinder opt-out problems and fixes
My record doesn't appear in the match list
The form matches on exact name spelling. Try maiden or former names, middle initials, and the state tied to the address on the listing rather than your current state.
The record came back a few months later
RecordsFinder pulls fresh public records continuously, so new filings can re-create a listing. Resubmit the form; repeat removals are normal for public-records aggregators.
An expunged or sealed record still shows
Email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject "Attention Expungement Records" and details of the record. The site says expunged records can persist because it aggregates public sources, and it reviews these inquiries under applicable law.
I never got a confirmation email
None is sent — that is how the form works. Your receipt is the on-screen confirmation, which is why the guide tells you to screenshot it. If you did not capture one, resubmit and screenshot this time.
I'm a judge or law-enforcement member facing a safety risk
Use the Covered Person lane: email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject "Attention Covered Person Removal Request" and include your complete name, residence and email, plus your status.
The form will not submit
Try a different browser with extensions and VPN off. If it still fails, email privacy@recordsfinder.com with your name, state and listing URL, or call 800-433-0567.
Send this to privacy@recordsfinder.com
Subject: Opt-out and deletion request for my RecordsFinder listing
Hello, Under applicable state privacy laws, including the CCPA where it applies, I request that RecordsFinder delete my personal information and stop selling or sharing it. Name (as shown on the listing): [Full name] State: [City, State] Listing URL: [Listing URL] Please confirm by email once my record has been suppressed from search results. Thank you.
After you opt out of RecordsFinder
Keep your confirmation screenshots with the date. RecordsFinder re-aggregates public records, so a listing can reappear when new filings hit the sources. Re-check every two to three months. Also clear yourself from InfoPay's sister sites such as CourtCaseFinder and StateRecords — each has its own form — and from the big people-search sites that resell the same records; that ongoing re-checking is what My Privacy Agent's Patrol plan automates.
Who does what for RecordsFinder
The honest split, so nothing here reads as a promise we cannot keep.
What we handle
- Filing the RecordsFinder opt-out request server-side once you authorize it.
- Storing the site's confirmation text as proof it was filed.
- Re-checking recordsfinder.com before anything is marked removed.
What you must do

Realistic scope
This guide removes this one RecordsFinder listing. It does not touch RecordsFinder's other data products, other brokers that buy data from RecordsFinder, or the public records the listing was built from -- those need their own opt-outs. Most people-search sites re-ingest data on their own schedule, so plan on re-checking recordsfinder.com every few months even after a successful removal.
My Privacy Agent can file the RecordsFinder form for you.
RecordsFinder uses a plain HTML form with no CAPTCHA and no email confirmation, so after you subscribe to Patrol and authorize an eligible request our team submits it server-side and stores the site's confirmation text as proof. The request shows as filed only when that confirmation is captured, and it is never marked removed until a re-check finds the listing gone.
Current service availability and terms are listed on the pricing page. Nothing is marked removed before a provider or native action succeeds.
RecordsFinder opt-out FAQ
Is RecordsFinder legit, and is its opt-out safe to use?
Yes. RecordsFinder is a real public-records search business run by InfoPay, Inc. of Boston, and its opt-out form is the official, free removal route. Note that it is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Be wary of paid services that charge to submit this same free form for you.
How do I remove my information from RecordsFinder?
Use the official form at recordsfinder.com/optout/: enter your full name and state exactly as they appear on the listing, select your record from the matches, and submit. Screenshot the on-screen confirmation, since no email is sent.
Is the RecordsFinder opt-out free?
Yes. The removal form and the privacy@recordsfinder.com email route are both free. You do not need to buy a report or create an account to opt out.
How long does the RecordsFinder opt-out take?
Our verified experience is 3 to 7 business days for the standard form. Formal state data-subject-rights requests get a response within 45 days according to the site's privacy page.
Why is my RecordsFinder listing back?
The site aggregates public records continuously, so new or refreshed source data can recreate a listing under your name. Resubmit the form with the exact name spelling and keep the new confirmation screenshot.
Does opting out of RecordsFinder remove me from CourtCaseFinder or StateRecords?
No. Those are sister sites run by the same operator, InfoPay, but each has its own opt-out form. You need to submit a removal on each site where you appear.
Will opting out delete my actual court or criminal record?
No. The opt-out only suppresses your information from RecordsFinder's search results. The underlying public record stays with the government agency that created it; you would need to pursue sealing or expungement through the court for that.
Does My Privacy Agent remove me from RecordsFinder automatically?
RecordsFinder uses a plain HTML form with no CAPTCHA and no email confirmation, so after you subscribe to Patrol and authorize an eligible request our team submits it server-side and stores the site's confirmation text as proof. The request shows as filed only when that confirmation is captured, and it is never marked removed until a re-check finds the listing gone.
