Michigan Resident Database
- Anonymous operator
A people-and-address directory built from Michigan voter-registration rolls, covering names, home addresses, birth years, gender, ethnicity codes, party affiliation, and household context, published free and searchable by anyone. The operator is anonymous (no company name, no address, no contact email anywhere on the site), and the business model is funneling visitors into paid background checks at Persopo.com. Built on the same site template as the North Carolina and Ohio sites.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of August 4, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of August 10, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
MichiganResidentDatabase.com is your voter registration, turned into a people-search page. Its own FAQ says the data is "gathered from public voter registration records that anyone can request from the Michigan election authorities." A profile can show your full name, home address, birth year and state, gender, ethnicity code, party affiliation, registration status, phone number where available, and your "household context and nearby neighbors", plus algorithmic guesses at salary and net worth that the site's own policy concedes are "only guesses."
Who runs it is unknown. The copyright line reads "© 2026 michiganresidentdatabase.com" and nothing more (no entity, no mailing address, no support email). The domain sits behind WHOIS privacy and Cloudflare, and the operator isn't on California's or Vermont's data-broker registry (checked August 2026). What the sites do disclose is the business model. Search results steer visitors toward Persopo.com, a paid background-check service, via affiliate links.
The page you're reading covers one of three near-identical state sites (North Carolina, Ohio, and Michigan), registered within four months of each other in 2018, with verbatim-identical privacy policies that swap only the state name. A newer "<state>ResidentDirectory.com" wave (Florida, Connecticut, Ohio, Colorado) follows a similar playbook. A shared template is all the sites demonstrably have in common: no filing or disclosure documents a common operator or owner for any of them.
This site isn't the government. Despite the official-sounding name, MichiganResidentDatabase.com is a private website with, in its own words, "no affiliation with the State of Michigan." Removing yourself from this site doesn't touch your underlying voter registration, and updating your voter registration doesn't reliably remove you here either, since the site re-ingests the rolls on its own schedule.

- Algorithmic "estimated salary and net worth" guesses
Ballot choices are never included. Voter files record registration, not votes. But the combination of home address, birth year, and party affiliation under your full name is plenty for doxxing, and it's published free with no paywall in the way.

The opt-out form is the only channel. With no email, phone, or address, there's no escalation path on this site. If the form fails, the fallbacks are your state election authorities (for the underlying record) and the FTC's complaint portal.
Network
Related sites
Near-identical sites exist for North Carolina and Ohio: same template, word-for-word policy text, and no operator named on any of them. A shared template doesn't prove a shared operator, and no source names one. All three funnel search results into Persopo.com, a paid background-check service, via affiliate links.
Each state site needs its own opt-out. Removing yourself from one does nothing on the other state sites. If you've lived in more than one of these states, run each site's form.
Reputation
Trust signals
There's nothing to review. No Trustpilot page, no BBB profile, no Sitejabber listing exists for any of the three state sites.
Litigation
Litigation history
No lawsuit, FTC action, or state-AG action names this site or its operator. There's no named operator to sue. That absence is a finding about the operator's anonymity, not a clean bill of health.
We haven't found any litigation, FTC enforcement, or state Attorney General action involving this site as of the last-updated date below. The operator also isn't on California's or Vermont's data-broker registry (checked August 2026), which means California's DROP one-click deletion platform can't reach it. The site's own opt-out form is the only working removal channel.
FAQ
Q & A
Is MichiganResidentDatabase.com a government website?
No. Its own privacy policy states it has "no affiliation with the State of Michigan." It's a private, anonymously operated website republishing the state's voter-registration file with paid background-check upsells attached.
Who owns MichiganResidentDatabase.com?
Nobody knows, and that's the finding. The site names no company, publishes no address or email, registers its domain behind a privacy proxy, and isn't on California's or Vermont's data-broker registry (checked August 2026). The only business trace is its affiliate relationship with Persopo.com, whose paid reports its search results funnel into.
How did MichiganResidentDatabase.com get my information?
From the state. Michigan voter-registration records are public information that anyone can request from the state's election authorities, and this site ingests those rolls wholesale, including your name, address, birth year, and party affiliation.
How do I remove my information from MichiganResidentDatabase.com?
Use the form at michiganresidentdatabase.com/opt-out. Find your listing via the homepage search, copy its URL, paste it into the opt-out form, complete the CAPTCHA and the follow-up form with your name and email, and submit. Removal typically lands within 24-48 hours, with no ID upload required. Expect to repeat it. The site re-ingests voter rolls, and refreshed data commonly restores listings. Our removal guide has the full walkthrough.
Will removing my record here keep me off the other state sites?
No. NorthCarolinaResidentDatabase.com and OhioResidentDatabase.com run separate databases with separate opt-out forms, even though they're built on the same template. Each must be done individually.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. They also submit removals for most brokers Redact covers and hand you the opt-out link for the rest, then re-scan on a schedule and file again if you reappear. Coverage varies by broker.
Opt-out last verified August 10, 2026.
