AdvancedBackgroundChecks Opt-Out (2026)
AdvancedBackgroundChecks is a free online service that gives users access to public records including criminal history, address information, and contact details. Because the service is free and easy to use, personal profiles are accessible with minimal effort. This guide walks you through the complete process of opting out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks in 2026 so your information is no longer searchable on their platform.
The reality of data brokers. Removing yourself from a single broker isn't enough. The FTC and EPIC have documented that personal data resurfaces on people-search sites within 30–90 days because brokers re-source from each other. Priwall by mePrism monitors hundreds of brokers and re-removes you automatically.
Why opt out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks?
AdvancedBackgroundChecks aggregates several types of sensitive data in one place, making it a concentrated risk point. First, criminal records including arrests, convictions, and traffic violations appear in results even when those matters are old or resolved. Second, address histories going back many years are displayed alongside current contact details. Third, the service is free, which means anyone can access this aggregated profile without spending money. Because there is no cost barrier, the potential audience for your data — including stalkers, scammers, and identity thieves — is essentially unlimited. Removing your listing eliminates your profile from their searchable database and reduces the risk of that data being used against you.

How to opt out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks
- Go to AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com. Open advancedbackgroundchecks.com and search for your name and state to locate your profile in their database.
- Find your listing. Locate your profile in the results and click through to the record page. Confirm the details are yours and copy the page URL.
- Access the opt-out form. Look in the site footer for an opt-out or privacy removal link. The link is typically labeled 'Do Not Sell My Info' or 'Remove My Record'.
- Submit the removal request. Fill in the form with your full name, email address, and the URL of your listing. Review the details before clicking Submit.
- Confirm via email. Check your inbox for a confirmation email from AdvancedBackgroundChecks. Click the verification link inside to activate your removal request.
- Verify removal after 5 business days. Return to the site and search for your name. If your profile still appears after five business days, resubmit the form or contact their support team directly.

Tired of the opt-out treadmill?
Priwall by mePrism handles the entire data-broker removal process for you — submitting, verifying, and re-removing across 200+ sites. Set it once and your information stays off the public web.
What to expect after opting out
AdvancedBackgroundChecks processes removals within two to five business days after email verification. Once removed, searches for your name will no longer return your profile on the site. Cached versions of your listing may linger on Google for a week or two, but they will eventually drop out as Google recrawls the page. Because the platform re-sources data from public records that are updated periodically, periodic re-checks every 90 days are advisable. Using a continuous monitoring service eliminates the need to check manually.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AdvancedBackgroundChecks opt-out free?
Yes. No payment is required to submit a removal request. The opt-out form is accessible through their privacy or footer links at no cost.
Does removing my listing expunge my criminal record?
No. Removing your profile from AdvancedBackgroundChecks only affects their commercial database. Official court records maintained by government agencies are not changed by this process.
How long does AdvancedBackgroundChecks take to process removals?
Typically two to five business days after you verify your email. If your listing remains visible after seven days, contact their support team.
What if I have multiple listings on AdvancedBackgroundChecks?
Submit a separate opt-out for each listing you find. Try searching with and without middle initials, and try different states if you have lived in multiple locations.
Will my data come back after I opt out?
It can if public records that reference your name are refreshed in their database. Setting a calendar reminder to check every 90 days is a practical way to catch re-listings before they become an issue.
