Request Google Search Removal

Google Search removal changes whether an eligible result appears in Search; it does not delete the source page from the website that hosts it. This guide separates a search-result request from removing the information at its origin and points to Google's current request process.

Official instructions

Open Google Search's official help page

Open the official opt-out form

  1. Open Google Search's official page linked here and follow its current instructions for the exact listing or account. Confirm that the record belongs to you or that you are authorized to make the request, and save its URL and date before submitting.
  2. Submit the removal request through the official form, select the matching record, and complete the verification steps that the service currently requires. Share only required information through that official channel; do not send identity documents or credentials to MyRecon.
  3. Save the confirmation or case reference, then revisit the same listing after the stated processing period. Search other brokers and source pages separately because one request does not automatically remove records elsewhere.

The request covers only the Google Search page and process described by its official instructions. It may not erase source public records, copies on other services, content retained for legal or operational reasons, or search-engine caches; recheck the exact result after processing.

Review your remaining public footprint

After your Google Search request, audit your own username across public sites and verify each result at its source. MyRecon can help locate supported public username matches; unavailable checks remain uncertain and other sites require separate removal requests.

Search removal and source deletion are different

Google's removal tools can affect eligible Google Search results, while the original publisher controls the source page. If the information is inaccurate or sensitive, contact the hosting site where possible and submit a separate Google request when the page meets Google's current criteria.

Use Google's current request process

Open Google's official personal-information removal guidance, choose the request type that matches the result, and provide the exact result URL requested by the form. The available categories and review process can change, so follow the live instructions and do not submit information about someone else without authority.

Check the result and the source

Save the request date and result URL, then revisit both the source page and the Google result after the review. A result may return if the source remains available or changes; use the publisher's own removal procedure for the underlying content.

Check a public username

Use accounts and identifiers you own or are authorized to review. A matching username is a lead, not proof of identity.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove my information from every website?

No. A request to Google Search applies to the service and record covered by its procedure. Source records, search-engine copies, and other brokers can remain separate, so check each original page and submit a separate request when needed.

How can I confirm a Google Search removal request worked?

Save the official confirmation or request reference, revisit the exact Google Search listing after the provider's stated processing period, and check any separate search result. If the page remains, follow the provider's current escalation or repeat-request instructions.

Should I send identity documents to MyRecon?

No. Submit information only through the service's official privacy channel and only when its current process requires it. MyRecon does not collect identity documents for this request; keep a copy of any material you provide directly to the provider.
