How to Remove Your Address From the Internet

Home addresses often appear on people-search dossiers, old social profiles, shipping accounts, and public records mirrors. You can reduce many consumer listings with free opt-outs and privacy settings, but court, property, and other official records may stay public. Start by finding where the address appears, suppress the people-search hits you can control, lock down accounts that leak location, then re-check. We invent no exposure maps or removal percentages. Optional paid cards use claim-ledger prices from 2026-08-09 (Incogni Standard $7.99/mo billed annually; Aura Individual $12/mo billed annually). Overall scores stay unpublished. Who should not buy: anyone who has not searched their own address on a few people-search sites, or who expects paid tools to erase public property records.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Separate people-search hits from public records

    Free

    A people-search profile that reprints your street is different from a county property record. Opt-outs help the first group. Official records often have limited or no consumer deletion path.

    • Save people-search URLs that show your home address
    • Flag government or court sources you cannot opt out of
    • Never pay a random site that promises to delete county records overnight
  2. 2

    Opt out of address-heavy people-search listings

    Free

    Prioritize dossiers that publish your current street, apartment number, or map pin. Use each site’s official form and track dates.

    • Official opt-out path only
    • Confirm which address fields disappear after a few weeks
    • Avoid uploading IDs unless clearly required
  3. 3

    Reduce voluntary location publishing

    Free

    Old social bios, marketplace listings, and club directories can keep an address alive even after broker opt-outs. Edit or delete what you control.

    • Review public social and directory profiles
    • Remove street-level location from profiles you own
    • Close abandoned shipping or membership accounts you no longer need
  4. 4

    Secure accounts that store your address

    Free

    Delivery, banking, and email accounts hold your mailing details. Unique passwords and MFA reduce takeover risk even when some address data remains public.

    • Unique passwords on email and retail accounts
    • MFA where available
    • Review who can view shared household accounts
  5. 5

    Optional paid help for recurring address listings

    Optional paid

    If people-search sites keep republishing your home address faster than you can opt out, Incogni may fit automation ($7.99/mo billed annually, 2026-08-09). Choose Aura when alerts and identity monitoring matter more than address cleanup alone ($12/mo billed annually).

    • Confirm DIY volume is the problem, not public records
    • Read who should not buy
    • Use /go/ only for pack merchants

What cannot always be removed

  • County, court, and many property records outside consumer opt-out control
  • Addresses other people publish about you
  • Guaranteed permanent deletion of every map or directory hit
  • Anything that requires Security Checklist to collect passwords or IDs
  • A promise that paid removal erases official public records
