How to remove your info from Ohio Resident Database
The opt-out itself is one of the lightest in the industry - no ID, no notarization, just your profile URL pasted into two short forms with a spam question each, and a promise of contact within 48 hours. The hard part is staying removed. The site re-ingests Ohio voter rolls on its own schedule, and refreshed data routinely brings listings back.
The full picture: See the Ohio Resident Database profile for what the site publishes, its anonymous operator, and the three-state network.
The results list every matching record with age, address, county, and voter status. Find the one that's actually you and click its red VIEW DETAILS button - on this state's site that button is the legitimate way in, unlike sibling Michigan's, where the identically-named green button is an advertisement.
On Ohio's site, VIEW DETAILS is the real way into your record.
03
Copy your profile URL
Your profile page's address is what identifies the record. Copy the full URL from the browser's address bar (Ctrl+C) - the opt-out form asks for it.
The address-bar URL is what identifies your record on the form.
04
Paste the URL into the opt-out form
Go to ohioresidentdatabase.com/opt-out (linked in the site footer). The page is headed Opt Out Step 1: paste the profile URL (Ctrl+V) and press SUBMIT - on this state's site there's nothing else on the page.
Paste the URL and SUBMIT - no spam question on this state's first form.
05
Fill out the final form and submit
The Opt Out Step 2 page shows the record you're removing and takes your full name and email address, plus a spam question and the certification that you're the person in the listing. Submit, then watch your email for a confirmation of the request.
The final form - name, email, spam question, then watch your inbox.
Confirm
Confirm it worked
Recheck the site after 48 hours. If the listing is still up after a week, resubmit the form - there is no support email, phone, or address to escalate to on this site. For the underlying record, your leverage is with the Ohio election authorities; ask about confidential-voter or address-confidentiality programs if you qualify (survivors of domestic violence, protected professions).

Troubleshooting
Form errors or CAPTCHA loops: try a different browser without extensions - the site sits behind Cloudflare and blocks anything that looks automated.
Listing reappears after a refresh: this is expected behavior on a voter-roll mirror, not a failed opt-out. Refile the form, and consider your state's confidential-voter options for a durable fix.
No response at all: the FTC's report portal takes complaints about the site; an anonymous, unregistered data broker ignoring removal requests is exactly what regulators ask to hear about.
This network re-ingests state voter rolls wholesale, so treat removal as recurring maintenance rather than a one-time fix: recheck every couple of months, especially after elections when the rolls get refreshed. Redact's data-broker scan watches for your details resurfacing across all three state shells and refiles the opt-out when they do.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans 120+ data broker sites from your device, finds where your details are listed, and submits the removal requests for you. If a broker relists you, it files again.
