How to remove yourself from LexisNexis
LexisNexis Risk Solutions keeps files on most US adults for identity checks, insurance and background screening. Its opt-out is free and covers the data it sells to other companies.

Steps
- Open the LexisNexis Risk Solutions consumer portal and choose to submit online (the recommended option). You can also print and mail a form, or call 1-888-497-0011.
- Fill in your name, current and past addresses and date of birth. To match your file, it asks for your Social Security number or a driver's license number and state.
- Pick which opt-out options to apply, then submit. You get a notice that the request is under review.
If that doesn't work
Use the risk.lexisnexis.com consumer portal, not the LexisNexis legal-research company: that is a separate business and doesn't hold your consumer file.
Afterward
LexisNexis may ask for proof of identity before it acts. Look for its letter or email, and check the request again in about a year.
