How to Remove Yourself from DOBSearch
DOBSearch is a people search engine that specializes in providing dates of birth alongside other personal information. They make it easy to look up someone's age and birthday, which is a key piece of identity theft data. Opting out protects this sensitive information from public exposure.
DOBSearch is just one of hundreds of sites selling your data. Even after you opt out here, your personal records will keep appearing on other data broker sites — often within weeks. Manually removing yourself from every site takes 20–30 hours and needs to be repeated constantly. Aura automatically removes your data from 100+ brokers and monitors for reappearance 24/7 — so you never have to do this again.
Let Aura Handle the Rest →What Data Does DOBSearch Collect?
DOBSearch collects and prominently displays dates of birth, full names, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, and associates. Their focus on birth dates makes them particularly concerning for identity theft risk, as date of birth is a commonly used identity verification element.

What to Expect After Opting Out
DOBSearch processes removal requests within 24-72 hours. Your date of birth, name, and other personal information will be removed from their search results. This removal is important because date of birth is frequently used for identity verification.
Additional Tips
Having your date of birth publicly available increases your identity theft risk significantly. After removing from DOBSearch, check other sites that display birth dates like FamilyTreeNow and Nuwber.
Done with DOBSearch? You're not done yet. There are hundreds of other data broker sites that still have your information. Instead of repeating this process manually for every one of them, Aura handles all removals automatically and keeps monitoring so your data stays off.
