Most relevant if this is you: Privacy for families
FastBackgroundCheck sells access to personal data on millions of Americans: full name, age, current and past addresses, and phone numbers. The free preview confirms your identity. The paid report hands over the full record. No verification of who is searching or why.
What is FastBackgroundCheck?
A people-search, address-search, and reverse-phone site offering free public-records lookups and paid background reports.
What stands out about FastBackgroundCheck is how much information it surfaces that most people do not realize is publicly available. A single search reveals your home address, the names of your family members, and your approximate age, all without any verification of who is searching or why.
What data FastBackgroundCheck has on you
A FastBackgroundCheck profile can include a surprisingly detailed picture of your life. Here is what they typically display:
- full name
- age
- current and past addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- phone numbers, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- email addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- relatives/associates, family members and known associates, often with links to their profiles
- social media profiles, across major platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram
Not every profile contains all categories. Depth depends on what public records exist in your jurisdiction and how much commercial data has been linked to your identity. For most adults with any public record history, FastBackgroundCheck has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about FastBackgroundCheck removal: it is temporary.
FastBackgroundCheck re-adds data as it scrapes; the site recommends a periodic refresh of your request. Recheck periodically.
Data can return after an opt-out if the broker later ingests a new record. Whether and when that happens varies by company and source. Periodic checks can catch re-listings; a monitoring service can re-file when supported.
This is the part Delist handles. FastBackgroundCheck is one of dozens of sites holding your information, and removals do not stay removed on their own. Delist finds where you are exposed, files each opt-out, and re-checks for re-listings — re-filing when your data comes back.

- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from FastBackgroundCheck does nothing to smartbackgroundchecks.com, advancedbackgroundchecks.com, cyberbackgroundchecks.com, or the dozens of other sites where your data is exposed. Each requires its own opt-out.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your FastBackgroundCheck profile for days or weeks after it is removed. Use Google's content removal tool to request de-indexing.
- Multiple profiles may exist. If you have lived in multiple states, changed your name, or have multiple phone numbers, FastBackgroundCheck may have built separate profiles for each variation. Search and opt out of each.
Tips for a successful opt-out
Use a dedicated email. Use an alias or a separate account for removal requests. Keeps your primary inbox out of FastBackgroundCheck's system and keeps confirmation emails organized.
Search every angle. Do not just search by name. Try phone number and email too. You may have more than one listing.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
