StateRecords.org Opt-Out

What is StateRecords.org?

StateRecords.org is a data aggregation website that collects information from record-generating sources and makes it available at a cost. The data shown in search results is pulled from publicly accessible sources such as county clerks, police blotters, court systems, and municipal databases.

StateRecords.org offers a range of search tools that bundle related information into a single, readable format. Despite its name, the site is not affiliated with any government agency. That distinction matters. The accuracy and scope of its records depend entirely on what each state and local authority publishes publicly. The platform is operated by Intermedia Ventures LLC, which is also affiliated with InfoTracer and Accucom. This shared infrastructure explains why similar records may appear across multiple sites.

There are No Stipulations for your StateRecords.org Opt-Out

The reports found on StateRecords.org resemble those published by Arrests.org, though the scope is broader. While Arrests.org focuses heavily on recent bookings, StateRecords.org provides access to criminal histories, local and federal inmate searches, sex offender registries, warrant lookups, neighborhood reports, and basic consumer searches.

There's an important caveat. Much of this information is submitted or syndicated from public sources, which means errors are possible. Names can be mismatched. Records can be outdated. In some cases, entirely unrelated individuals become linked to the same profile.

For some people, these inaccuracies are easy to ignore. For others, they can lead to serious consequences, including damaged relationships or social and professional fallout. When that happens, consumers generally have two choices. Create an account to dispute or correct the data, or request an opt-out.

Options to Remove Information from StateRecords.org

An opt-out is an official request to prevent personal information from appearing in search results. When a request is processed, consumer records and their associated details are removed from purchasable services. With StateRecords.org, opted-out information is destroyed rather than simply hidden.

That makes opt-outs effective as a quick solution, but it also allows records to reappear later. StateRecords.org continuously ingests new public data, which means previously removed information can resurface at any time. For that reason, consumers who opt out should plan to return every six months to check for new reports. A good rule of thumb is simple. If your information appeared once, it is likely to appear again.

The good news is flexibility. StateRecords.org offers several ways to opt out. There are five primary methods available, some more hands-on than others. Each option has its own nuances, so it's worth reading through them before choosing the path that best fits your situation.

Opting Out of StateRecords.org: Step-by-Step

Call StateRecords.org for Representative Assistance

Consumers who need live assistance can contact StateRecords.org by phone. Representatives are available daily from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The support number is 1 855 938 5042.

When calling, expect hold music until a representative answers. This option is best for removing multiple records, addressing reports that incorrectly involve minors, or resolving issues that automated tools may not handle well. Account holders must also call this number to cancel subscriptions or stop future payments.

Send the Opt-Out Request via Email

Emailing an opt-out request is most appropriate for two groups of consumers. Those with court-ordered expungements and those who prefer to keep their distance from StateRecords.org's online tools.

A quick approach is to use a prepared opt-out template and replace the highlighted sections with accurate personal details. Be aware that email requests may be rejected if the information provided is insufficient, if documentation does not meet authorization standards, or if StateRecords.org determines that the record can be removed through an online opt-out instead.

If an email request is rejected, consumers can respond with additional verification, submit an appeal, or proceed using one of the online opt-out methods described in the following sections.

Print and Fill Out the Request Paperwork for Snail Mail (Requires Photo ID)

Many data distribution websites allow consumers to submit opt-out requests by mail, and StateRecords.org is no exception. This method is slower and more involved, but it serves a specific purpose. Mailing a request opts you out of data sharing and selling conducted by StateRecords' parent entity, InfoPay Inc., rather than just removing a single public listing.

Because this process affects multiple affiliates at once, additional documentation is required. All materials must be mailed together in a single envelope, whether standard or manila. Each request must include the following elements.

• A written request letter: Use the email template referenced earlier as a base and convert it into letter format using a text editor. In the second sentence, add the phrase "or InfoPay" to clarify that the request applies to both entities.

• The completed opt-out form: This printed form is provided by InfoPay, the overseeing entity for StateRecords.org. When processed successfully, the opt-out removes applicable information across affiliated platforms, including StateRecords.org and InfoTracer.

• A copy of a state-issued photo ID: Scan or photograph a valid ID and include it with the request. Driver's licenses and passports are preferred. Consumers may and should censor unnecessary details, including the photograph, license number, physical descriptors, issuing and expiration dates, restrictions, vehicle class, endorsements, and signature.

• Supporting documentation, if applicable: Court orders are the most common supporting documents, particularly for expungements. Fraud reports and police reports may also be included when relevant. Once all documents are prepared, mail the complete packet to the address below:

This method takes longer than online or email opt-outs, but it provides a broader suppression across affiliated databases and a clear physical paper trail.

Use the StateRecords.org Privacy Choice Form (Requires Internal Search)

This option is best for consumers who know, or strongly suspect, that their information already appears on StateRecords.org. This method relies on the site's internal search system to locate a specific record before submitting a removal request. If no matching record appears, users can skip ahead to the preemptive opt-out option covered in the next section. To begin, open the StateRecords Privacy Choice page in a new browser tab.

Step One

Scroll down to the section titled "Remove My Personal Information". Enter the first and last name associated with the record, along with the state. Adding a city can help narrow the results and reduce mismatches. When ready, click the red "Submit" button. If the page darkens or pauses, a CAPTCHA prompt may appear. Check the "I am not a robot" box in the pop-up to continue.

Step Two

The next page displays a list of matching records. Review the results carefully and locate the correct profile. In the eighth column, select the "Select Record" checkbox associated with the appropriate listing. A bisque-colored "Remove Data" button will appear to the right. Click it to proceed.

Step Three

Enter an accessible email address on the following page. Adding a comment is optional but can be helpful in clarifying the request. Complete the CAPTCHA verification, then click the blue "Submit" button. The system immediately sends a confirmation email to the address provided.

Step Four

Open the email sent from http://privacy@privacy.staterecords.org/. Inside the message body, click the blue "click here" link. This opens a new browser tab displaying a green confirmation banner indicating that the request has been received. At this point, the request enters manual review. A representative will evaluate the submission and follow up with a response over the next several days.

Alternatively, Submit an Opt-Out Using their Direct Form (No Search, No ID)

This option is especially relevant for consumers in privacy-focused states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. That said, the form is not limited to those jurisdictions. Any consumer can submit an opt-out request using this method. One thing to note, though. There are multiple versions of the form in circulation, and some do not display all U.S. states in the dropdown menu. If your state appears, this is often the simplest path.

Step One

Once the form loads, select your state of residence. Of the two role options presented, choose "Myself" unless you are acting as an authorized agent in California. Next, click the "Do Not Sell My Information" button on the right side of the page.

Enter the first and last name tied to the record. While date of birth is not always listed as required, it plays an important role in identity verification and is worth including when possible. Provide an accessible email address, a contact phone number, and brief request details. Complete the CAPTCHA challenge, then click the blue "Submit" button at the bottom of the form window.

Step Two

Check the inbox associated with the email address you submitted. You should receive a message from StateRecords.org. Toward the bottom of the email is a green "Confirm Email" button. Click it to continue.

That link opens a new browser tab displaying a green check mark and a confirmation message. At this stage, the request is submitted but not yet finalized. A representative will review the request and make a determination. In some cases, consumers may be contacted and asked to provide additional verification, such as a photo ID or court documentation.

Ensure the Request is Honored, then Return for More

Processing may take several days, depending on the volume of requests and whether additional review is required. Before verifying the outcome, clear the cache and history of your most frequently used browser. Cached pages can make it appear as though a record still exists, even when it has already been removed for the public.

After clearing your cache, return to StateRecords.org and run the same search again. For extra assurance, search for the record on external search engines like Google. Those results update on a separate schedule, often every couple of weeks, so removals may take longer to reflect there.

This guide reflects the opt-out procedures outlined in StateRecords.org's privacy policy as of 2026. As with most data aggregation platforms, periodic follow-ups are the only reliable way to ensure continued removal.
