DOBsearch is a people-finder service that helps users look up personal records. Its pages describe public records and partner sources, and all requests can be sent through the Contact page. Use the guide below to protect your privacy online.

Common data you may find:

  • Names and known aliases
  • Phone details
  • Addresses
  • Current and past locations
  • Age or date of birth
  • Relative links
  • Employment references
  • Court records

Step-by-Step Guide

Search for your record and copy the profile URL

Run a search, open the matching listing, and copy the full URL from the address bar. If you save a screenshot, blur or redact personal data first. Tip: Save the exact page address you plan to send.

Open the Contact Us page

Open the official Contact Us page in the footer. Look for such fields as the first and last name, contact address, and Comment, then use the main submit button. Tip: Keep the page open until you see a confirmation note.

Submit your identifiers

Add the details that match the listing and ask DOBsearch to delete your info. Paste the profile URL and keep the note short. Tip: Include a second contact method only when needed.

Confirm deletion

Watch for an on-page success message or a reply in your inbox. Save the message so you can confirm the date later. Tip: Look in Spam if nothing arrives.

Track confirmation & timeline

Keep the confirmation and mark the date. If DOBsearch does not respond within the stated window, send one follow-up through the same page. Tip: One clean retry is better than many repeats.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

A reply may appear on-page or in your inbox. The clearest official timing says DOBsearch will try to respond within 30 days after a verifiable consumer submission. If no response arrives after that window, use the contact page once more and resend the same details.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

  • No access to the original contact method: Use the form and explain the issue. Add the record URL and matching details so support can locate the listing.
  • “Record not found”: Try old addresses or a wider location search. Some records may appear under older details.
  • CAPTCHA or submission errors: Refresh the page, switch browsers, or try a private window. If the form still fails, use the contact method shown on the site.
  • Code not arriving: Look for a reply message instead, then try once again.
  • Form rejects the request by region (EU/UK/CA): Use the privacy contact details and state your location clearly.
  • Account deletion vs. public listing confusion: Ask support to delete the listing, not just close an account.
  • Re-submitting after a failed attempt: Wait for the full review window, then send one follow-up with the same URL and prior note.
  • How to cancel DOBsearch: Contact support if the issue is billing or account access rather than a listing.

Will my data reappear?

Listings can return through aggregators, partner feeds, or resellers. Set a 3–6 month reminder, keep confirmations, and submit a fresh request quickly if the profile comes back. You can also check related broker listings next.
