FastBackgroundCheck's removal runs through a page headed "Do Not Sell/Right to Opt-out," and the flow is the same email-first one you'll meet on FastPeopleSearch and CyberBackgroundChecks: you hand over your name and email before you see your record, the real opt-out form arrives as a link in your inbox, and that link is only good for 24 hours. It's free, needs no account, and takes about ten minutes if your inbox cooperates. The site blocks most automated tools, so the steps below come from our own browser capture of the page rather than from another guide.
If you want the bigger picture before you file, our FastBackgroundCheck profile covers what the site is, what a listing shows, and whether it's legit.
Step 1: Go to the removal portal
Open fastbackgroundcheck.com/removal. The page lists its own four-step process above the form, and it's worth reading once: enter your email and name, click the emailed link, fill in the form so it matches your record, then wait for the confirmation.
Step 2: Fill in the request form
Set the "I am" dropdown to the option for the subject of the request (or the authorized-agent option if you're filing for someone else). Enter your first and last name. The middle name is optional, but include it if your listing shows one, since the site keeps middle initials on records that its sister sites drop. Enter an email address you can open right away, tick the authorization checkbox, let the Cloudflare check turn green, and click Submit.
You haven't removed anything yet. This form only asks the site to email you the link to the actual opt-out form.
Step 3: Click the emailed link within 24 hours
The message can take a while to arrive, so check spam. The page is explicit: "If you wait more than 24 hours to click this link you will need to request a new one." If it lapses, go back to Step 1. Nothing is lost.
Step 4: Complete the opt-out form
The link opens the real removal form. Fill it in so the details match the record you want gone. The site's own note is blunt about why: "Omitting information or providing inaccurate information on the opt-out form will only hinder the opt-out process." If you show up under more than one name variant or old address, each one needs its own pass through these steps.
Step 5: Confirmation page, then allow 3 days
You'll land on a confirmation page and get a confirmation email. FastBackgroundCheck asks you to "allow 3 days for your record to be fully removed." After that, search your name on the site again in a private window. If the listing is still up well past the window, resubmit rather than assuming it's in a queue. Third-party guides list a support number, (888) 747-4094, for records that won't clear. We haven't tested it ourselves.
Why it's worth checking back
FastBackgroundCheck rebuilds its listings from the same public-record feeds as every other people-search site, so a removal only covers what's live today. A new address, a new phone number, or a freshly digitized record can regenerate your profile months later, and your old request won't touch it. The same request also does nothing for CyberBackgroundChecks or FastPeopleSearch, which share the platform but keep separate opt-out queues, so file on each.
That recurring check is what Delist My Data automates: filing the removal once, then watching for you to reappear on FastBackgroundCheck and the rest of the people-search sites and re-filing without you having to remember.
