How to opt out and remove your information from LexisNexis?

The LexisNexis opt-out process only applies in certain cases. It means that you will be able to remove most of your information if you are an identity theft victim or at risk of experiencing physical harm. Such requests must be backed up by documentation that supports the reason and provides evidence.

• If you are at risk of physical harm, submit a copy of a court protective order, a copy of a police report, or similar documentation (it can be a letter from a shelter administrator or a health care professional)
• If you are a victim of identity theft, submit a copy of a police report stating the identity theft or documentation that verifies the identity theft
• If you are a law enforcement worker or public official, submit a letter from your supervisor claiming that your profession exposes you to a serious life threat
