In short: There is no Radaris opt-out form to submit right now. On August 27, 2026, a New Jersey court entered a final default judgment against Radaris.com under the state's Daniel's Law, and the domain itself was transferred to the plaintiff, Atlas Data Privacy Corp. The site's former removal page now shows only a court notice, so if your listing still shows up in Google, the fix is cleaning up the cached snippet and checking Radaris's sister sites, not filling out a form on radaris.com.
If you searched "radaris opt out" because you found your name, address or phone number on the site, the fix now is different from what most guides describe. Radaris had, as KrebsOnSecurity put it, a long-standing reputation for ignoring removal requests from the people listed on it — part of why a court ended up taking the domain away rather than waiting for the company to comply voluntarily. Here's what changed, what's left of your old listing, and what to do about it.
Can I still submit a Radaris opt-out request?
No. As of the August 27, 2026 judgment, radaris.com no longer belongs to the company that ran it, and there is no search box, profile page, or removal form left on the site. The page that used to be Radaris's "Control Privacy" opt-out tool now carries a notice stating the domain "has been transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corporation ('Atlas') and is no longer under the control of its former operators," according to the notice now posted at radaris.com/control-privacy. If you land on a guide describing a multi-step Radaris form, phone verification or ID upload, that describes the site as it used to work before the seizure, not how it works today.
What happened to the Radaris opt-out form?
The New Jersey Superior Court ordered Radaris.com, along with sister sites Rehold.com and Trustoria.com, to transfer their domains after the companies failed to show up and defend themselves in court. The court's order states plainly that "On August 27, 2026, the New Jersey Superior Court entered a final judgment by default against Defendants Radaris.com, Rehold.com, and Trustoria.com," according to the transfer notice. The judge also issued a permanent injunction barring the people behind Radaris, and anyone working with them, from disclosing the protected information of covered people through those domains or related sites. This was not the first domain this group lost: an earlier June 12, 2026 judgment in the same case covered twelve more domains, including Centeda.com, Dataveria.com, Verecor.com and Veriforia.com, according to a removal guide tracking the case. In total, the court has transferred 14 domains from the Radaris family of companies to Atlas, KrebsOnSecurity reported.
Why did Radaris's listings keep reappearing for so long?
Radaris had a reputation for stonewalling. "The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online," KrebsOnSecurity reported. The company is run by Igor and Dmitry Lubarsky, described as "Russian-born brothers living in Massachusetts who operate a dizzying array of people-search companies as well as a number of Russian language dating services and affiliate programs," per the same reporting.
This isn't the company's first brush with a court-ordered domain seizure. Back in 2017, Radaris lost a $7.5 million default judgment in a class action it never bothered to contest. When the plaintiffs couldn't collect, a court ordered the domain registry Verisign to transfer radaris.com to them — but Radaris's lawyer argued the wrong corporate entity had been sued, the judge halted the transfer, and "soon after, the operator of Radaris changed from Bitseller to Andtop Company," KrebsOnSecurity reported. Atlas's CEO described this pattern during the 2026 case as "delaying in court until the last possible minute, and playing shell games with Radaris's true country of origin and the individuals listed as owners and operators of these sites," according to the same report. That history of corporate shuffling is the backdrop for why individual removal requests so often failed to stick, and why this time a court simply took the domains instead.
Radaris's attorney disputes that the judgment should stand. He told KrebsOnSecurity the company "made a motion to vacate that default judgment on the grounds that it is void since a non-entity has no legal capacity to sue or be sued," and said Radaris plans to appeal because it believes "the transfer of Radaris.com amounts to a forfeiture in violation of various constitutional principles," per KrebsOnSecurity.
What if I already submitted a Radaris opt-out before the shutdown?
If you already went through Radaris's old removal process before the court stepped in, you don't need to do anything else. "No further action is needed. With the site offline, there's no public profile left to remove," according to a removal guide covering the shutdown. The same guide recommends holding onto your old confirmation email anyway, since it's useful proof if the Radaris brand resurfaces somewhere else.
One important caution: don't email old Radaris addresses or send them your ID or personal details now. The domain and its operators are no longer connected, so a removal request sent to an old @radaris.com address has nowhere useful to go. "Do not email removal requests, IDs, or personal details to old @radaris.com addresses such as [email protected]," the guide warns.
What if my info is still showing in Google search results?
A seized domain doesn't instantly scrub Google's cache. If a search for your name still surfaces a radaris.com result with your old details in the snippet, you can ask Google directly to refresh it. "If a search for your name still shows a radaris.com result with old details in its snippet, submit that exact URL to Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool," using search.google.com's console and signing in with a Google account, per the same guide. This doesn't delete anything from Radaris — there's no Radaris left to delete it from — it just tells Google the page has changed so the snippet updates.
Could Radaris come back, and what should I watch for?
Possibly. The brand has rebranded and restructured before, and taking the main US domain offline doesn't make the underlying public records disappear. "Radaris could return through an appeal or under a new name or domain. Its operators have renamed companies before, and Radaris-branded sites still run outside the US," one removal guide notes, adding that "at the time of writing, radaris.eu was still online under the Radaris name, offering people search and background reports," according to the guide. The same source points out that "taking Radaris offline removed one site, not your data. Several of its sister sites are still live, and many other people-search sites build profiles from the same public records." Atlas's own evidence from the litigation suggests the scope went well beyond one brand: the company "says evidence from the case shows that Radaris and at least 25 other people-search websites worked as one operation, run by a small group," per the same report.
What to do next
- Check radaris.com yourself. If you see the court transfer notice instead of a search box or your profile, there's genuinely nothing to opt out of on that domain right now (see the notice).
- Don't email old Radaris removal addresses or send ID, photos or personal details to them — the operators no longer control the domain, so there's no one there to process the request.
- If a Google search for your name still shows a stale radaris.com snippet with your details, submit that exact URL through Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool to clear the cached preview.
- Search for your name alongside sister-site names tied to the same operation — Rehold, Trustoria, Centeda, Dataveria, Verecor, Veriforia and others covered in the same court case — and submit removal requests to any that are still live.
- If you find a radaris.eu listing or any site still using the Radaris brand outside the US, treat it as a separate, still-active profile and opt out of it on its own terms.
- Keep any old Radaris confirmation email you have — if the brand reappears under a new name after its appeal, that record is useful proof you already asked to be removed once.
- Set a reminder to recheck in a few months, since the company has rebranded through shell companies before and says it intends to appeal the domain transfer.
Radaris was never the only people-search site carrying your information, and even a seized domain doesn't clean up the rest. Check all major people-search opt-out requirements to see which other sites still have you listed, also remove yourself from FamilyTreeNow if that site turns up your name, and for a broader cleanup, remove yourself from other data brokers too.
