How to opt out of Advanced Background Checks

To remove your personal information from Advanced Background Checks, use its official opt-out page and follow the form+CAPTCHA process. Filing yourself is free. Check the site's current verification requirements. Keep confirmation and check the result afterward. Removal can take time, and listings may return.

Steps

  1. Search Advanced Background Checks for your name and city and open the result that matches you. Copy its URL; most opt-out forms ask for it.
  2. Open the official opt-out page at advancedbackgroundchecks.com.
  3. Paste your listing URL (or search inside the form) and fill in the details it asks for.
  4. Complete the CAPTCHA. Some of these sites block privacy browsers and VPNs, so you may need to turn them off.
  5. Save the confirmation number or email, and take a dated screenshot of the listing before and after.
  6. Re-check in a few weeks, and again every few months. Listings often come back when the site buys fresh data.

Common questions

Is it free to opt out of Advanced Background Checks?

Yes. Advanced Background Checks's opt-out is free. You don't need to pay anyone to file it, including us; this guide walks through it.

Will my Advanced Background Checks listing come back?

It can. People-search sites rebuild profiles from new public records and data purchases. Re-check every few months and re-file if it reappears.

Does removing myself from Advanced Background Checks remove me from other sites?

Advanced Background Checks is part of the FPS/TPS cluster family, along with FastPeopleSearch, TruePeopleSearch, Smart Background Checks. Some family sites share opt-out systems, but check each one separately.

Does California's DROP cover Advanced Background Checks?

DROP only reaches brokers registered with California. Advanced Background Checks's registration status in our records: unknown. Check the CPPA data broker registry for the current list. Even registered brokers may claim exemptions for public-record data.

Keep proof

Whether you file yourself or have someone do it, keep a dated screenshot of the listing before and after, and the confirmation email or number. If the listing comes back, that record is what you'll point to. That's the whole idea behind Quietname's proof records.
