This one you have to do yourself
LexisNexis verifies your identity before it will act, and the request has to come from you. There is an online route and a postal one; neither can be completed by software.
Open consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com. Choose the opt-out and complete the identity steps, or download the printable form and post it instead. Ask for your consumer disclosure report from the same portal while you are there: that is the file itself, and anything wrong in it can be disputed from the same page. Budget twenty minutes and have identification to hand.
About 20 minutes.
Open their formCommon questions
- Is LexisNexis covered by California's free deletion platform?
- Yes. LexisNexis appears in the California data broker registry, checked 2026-08-24. A California resident can have them delete this data through one free DROP request, and they must then keep a suppression list so it is not re-collected.
- Can removal from LexisNexis be automated?
- No. LexisNexis verifies your identity before it will act, and the request has to come from you. There is an online route and a postal one; neither can be completed by software. Open consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com. Choose the opt-out and complete the identity steps, or download the printable form and post it instead. Ask for your consumer disclosure report from the same portal while you are there: that is the file itself, and anything wrong in it can be disputed from the same page. Budget twenty minutes and have identification to hand. Any service telling you it handles this automatically is either not doing it or not saying so.
- Will my data come back?
- Less likely here than elsewhere. A registered California broker must maintain a suppression list, which is the only mechanism that actually stops re-collection. Outside California, re-check every few months.
