How to Remove Yourself from PublicRecordsNow

PublicRecordsNow is a public records aggregator that provides access to personal information, background checks, and contact details. They compile data from various government and commercial sources into searchable profiles. Opting out is a simple online process.

PublicRecordsNow 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.
