Radaris opt-out: what to do now the domain has been seized
There is no Radaris opt-out page to use any more. A New Jersey court entered a default judgment in August 2026 and radaris.com, rehold.com and trustoria.com now show a court-order notice instead of profiles. Your job now is clearing old search results and checking the sister sites.

Key takeaways
- Radaris.com no longer shows people profiles: since a New Jersey default judgment dated August 27, 2026, the domain shows a court-ordered transfer notice.
- Rehold.com and Trustoria.com, named in the same judgment, show the same notice. Nothing needs submitting there today.
- Old Radaris results can linger in Google. Use Google's Remove outdated content and Results about you tools to clear them.
- The operators have said they will try to overturn the judgment, and reporting links them to other people-search sites. Keep checking.
What happened to Radaris
Radaris had a long reputation, in KrebsOnSecurity's words, for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its people-search services. That changed in 2026.
Visit radaris.com today and you see a notice headed "This Domain Has Been Transferred by Court Order". According to that notice, Atlas Data Privacy Corporation and five individual plaintiffs sued Radaris in New Jersey Superior Court in February 2024 under Daniel's Law, the state statute that protects the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of judges, police officers, prosecutors and other covered people. On August 27, 2026 the court entered a final judgment by default against Radaris.com, Rehold.com and Trustoria.com, ordered the domain transferred to Atlas, and issued a permanent injunction against disclosing the covered people's information.
KrebsOnSecurity reported in September 2026 that the court had by then transferred 14 domain names from the Radaris family to Atlas, and that a lawyer for the defendants had moved to vacate the judgment and intends to appeal. So this may not be the last word.
What this means for you
Step 1: clear old Radaris results from search engines
The most likely place you will still see Radaris is a search engine. Results built up over years can show your name, age, city and relatives in the snippet even though the page behind them is gone. Krebs noted that radaris.com still came up prominently in name searches after the transfer.
- Search your name in Google and Bing and note any Radaris, Rehold or Trustoria results.
- In Google, use Remove outdated content. Paste the result's URL; because the page no longer shows your details, Google can refresh or drop the result.
- Set up Results about you with your phone numbers, home addresses and email. Google will find results containing them on any site and let you request removal, and can alert you to new ones.

Step 2: check the rest of the Radaris family
Radaris was never one site. KrebsOnSecurity reported that Atlas's evidence ties radaris.com to at least 25 other people-search websites run by the same small group, and the reporting names Veripages among them. Only some of those domains have been transferred.
- Search your name together with words like "people search", "address" and "phone" and look for unfamiliar sites that show the same details Radaris used to.
- For each one still live, find the opt-out or "do not sell" link in its footer and follow it, giving only what is needed to match your listing.
- If a site wants an account, a payment or a copy of your ID to remove a listing, stop and look for its privacy request or state-rights route instead. You never need to pay to remove yourself.
We are not listing every sister domain here, because the list is contested in court and changing. Your own name search is the reliable test.
If Radaris comes back
The defendants have said they will challenge the judgment, and Krebs reported that in an earlier, 2017 case a court halted a similar transfer of the domain after Radaris challenged it. If radaris.com ever starts publishing profiles again:
- Look for its opt-out or privacy page in the footer and follow it, using an email alias.
- If you are a judge, police officer, prosecutor or other covered person in New Jersey or a state with a similar law, send a written request under that law as well. The court has already found Radaris in violation of Daniel's Law once.
- If you live in a state with a general privacy law and your request is ignored, complain to your state attorney general.
California residents can file one deletion request with every registered data broker through the state's free DROP platform. Since August 1, 2026, registered brokers have had to check it at least every 45 days.
Radaris was one site of dozens
With Radaris dark, the sites a stranger is most likely to find you on are Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, Intelius and the other PeopleConnect brands and TruePeopleSearch. Each has a free opt-out. Our data broker removal guide covers the routine and how often to repeat it.
Common questions
How do I opt out of Radaris in 2026?
You currently cannot and do not need to. Since a New Jersey default judgment dated August 27, 2026, radaris.com shows a court-ordered domain transfer notice instead of people profiles. Clear old Radaris results from Google with its Remove outdated content and Results about you tools.
Why was radaris.com shut down?
Atlas Data Privacy Corporation sued Radaris in New Jersey under Daniel's Law, which protects the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of judges, police and other covered people. The court entered a default judgment and ordered radaris.com, rehold.com and trustoria.com transferred to Atlas.
Is my information still on Radaris's other sites?
Possibly. KrebsOnSecurity reported that radaris.com is linked to at least 25 other people-search sites and that 14 domains had been transferred by September 2026. Search your name to find any sister site still showing your details and use its own opt-out.
Could Radaris come back online?
It is possible. KrebsOnSecurity reported that a lawyer for the defendants moved to vacate the judgment and plans to appeal. If profiles reappear, use the site's opt-out and, if you are a covered person, a written request under your state's law.
