IDCrawl opt out: how to remove yourself
IDCrawl is a free people-search engine that stitches social profiles, usernames, photos, phone numbers and public records onto a single page indexed under your name. Unlike the subscription services it charges nothing and asks for no account, which makes it the fastest route from a name on a deed to a way of contacting you, and it is frequently the first result someone sees when they search a property owner.

What IDCrawl exposes about you
Your name, age, current and prior addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, social profiles across several platforms, usernames, and public records including property, court and criminal filings. It is one of the first places a wholesaler or skip-tracer looks to attach your cell number to your name and address.
How to opt out of IDCrawl
- 1Open the IDCrawl removal page and search your full name, adding your state if the name is a common one.
- 2Find the profile that is yours. IDCrawl groups people loosely, so check the age, the city and the listed relatives before selecting, because removing the wrong record leaves yours published.
- 3Select your record and submit the removal request using an email address you can open right now.
- 4Click the link in the confirmation email. The request does nothing until you do, and this is where most opt-outs quietly fail.
- 5Check back in about a week. Removal is usually quick, but IDCrawl draws on other people-search sites, so your record can return when one of those refreshes.
- 6Remove yourself from those underlying sources too, since clearing IDCrawl alone leaves the material it rebuilds from in place.

IDCrawl is one of 255 broker sites Shield Pro covers
The same records that put you on IDCrawl are spread across our full data-broker opt-out list, and that spread is how wholesalers and spammers got your number in the first place. Opting out of one site helps for a while, then IDCrawl re-lists you after its next data refresh. FendLand shows where you are listed. Shield Pro removes it for you at most sites, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.

Questions
Is IDCrawl legitimate?
Yes. IDCrawl is a real company, not a scam. It is a people-search data broker: it compiles public records, marketing data, and social profiles into a page on you and shows or sells it to anyone who searches your name, including wholesalers and skip-tracers. Compiling public-record data is a legal business in the US, which is why it can list you without asking first. Opting out is your right and it is free: IDCrawl publishes its own removal process, and you do not have to give a reason.
Why is IDCrawl showing my information?
You never gave IDCrawl anything. It scrapes and buys public records (county property and voter files, court and marriage records), marketing databases, and social profiles, then links them into one page under your name and publishes it automatically. You show up the moment those records mention you, which is why it can appear without warning. Compiling public-record data this way is legal in the US, and that same law is why you have the right to opt out for free.
Will removing myself from IDCrawl stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but IDCrawl is one of many people-search sites, and it re-lists you after each data refresh, so you need to opt out everywhere and re-check on a schedule. Shield Pro removes your info from most of the 255 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
