What shows up when someone searches your name?

Get a clear preview before a search result, broker listing, old record, or same-name mix-up speaks for you.

We check passive Google/search evidence and clearly labeled record and mugshot coverage when available — then separate what looks actionable from what likely needs a lawyer or no paid next step. People-search and data-broker coverage may be unavailable and is not guaranteed. With your required authorization, the free scan also runs one closed-book sample on Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 using only your name and listed city/state locations.

No promise to erase the internet. The goal is clarity: what appears to be you, what may be a same-name stranger, and what you can realistically do next.

How It Works

1

We Check

Your name is checked through passive Google/search discovery and clearly labeled court-record and mugshot coverage, so you can see what was found and what was not directly verified.

2

We Sort

We show you what's out there and help you tell what's actually you apart from someone who shares your name — the same mix-up a fast search or review can create.

3

You Decide

You get a plain read of what's there and where you stand. The personal diagnosis adds a human actionability review and, when a route is genuinely eligible, a write-up of one reviewed action such as a broker opt-out or eligible Google personal-info request, with the exact steps to request it. Carrying out an action on your behalf is limited to a small invited pilot and is not included. No automated promises.

Optional layer: AICheck by FixMyRecord

Map passive search and public-source findings to the pages that may be shaping what people see.

Your authorized scan includes one closed-book API-model sample from Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 through privacy-gated Vercel AI Gateway routing. It carries zero score and never creates a removal target without separate source verification. Perplexity remains unavailable.

What sources do we check?

Google Search

We check visible search results and reputation-risk queries tied to your name, then separate source-backed findings from weaker signals.

Search visibility, not guesswork

LLM Samples

Your required scan authorization includes one closed-book sample from Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 using only the name and listed city/state locations. It remains evidence only with zero score. Perplexity search-backed sampling remains unavailable.

Included with scan authorization; zero score; Perplexity unavailable

Court Records

When available, we check court-record sources and label what was actually found versus what only looks like a possible same-name match.

Source availability varies by jurisdiction

Mugshot Sites

Known mugshot and arrest-record sites are checked for visible matches, then treated carefully because same-name and identity errors are common.

Checked only where the scan can safely inspect

Data Brokers & People-Search

Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, and similar sites publish your address, phone, and relatives — and sometimes pin a same-name stranger's details to you. We surface what's showing up.

Personal contact info flagged where eligible for removal

Plain-English Read

A clear summary of what's out there — and which results look like you versus a stranger who shares your name. When every required source category has verified coverage, that includes a 0-100 reputation score with an A-F letter grade; when one cannot be verified, we label it unavailable and publish no score or grade.

Clarity first, not generic advice

What an honest diagnosis looks like

1

We Map Public Sources

We capture passive search evidence, public records, and web sources we successfully check, while labeling any source lane we could not verify. People-search and data-broker coverage may be unavailable and is not guaranteed.

2

We Sort You From Strangers

With your birth year and the other identity context you choose to give us, we separate the records that are likely you from a same-name stranger's. Where we can't be sure, we say so plainly — we never claim a record is, or isn't, yours.

3

We Give You a Plain Read

What's fixable, what isn't, and what needs a lawyer. We can't seal a court record or erase a mugshot — only a court can — and we'll point you to legal aid for those.

4

We Help Where Eligible

Where your personal contact info (home address, phone, email) is exposed and eligible, we tell you whether a Google personal-info removal request is likely to qualify and give you the exact steps and URLs to file it yourself. Filing on your behalf is not included.

When search results create real-world friction

Old records, mugshot pages, data broker listings, outdated profiles, and same-name mix-ups can affect work, housing, licensing, customers, or professional trust.

Work and licensing

Search results and same-name confusion can create questions before you get a chance to explain the context.

Privacy and safety

People-search sites can expose addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and stale records in places you do not control.

AI and search summaries

Search and AI tools can summarize public information. We prioritize verifiable public sources; the authorized FMR scan includes one privacy-gated, closed-book point-in-time sample that remains evidence only and never affects the score.

Your free Reputation Preview shows what's out there and which results look like you. The personal diagnosis adds identity resolution, a human actionability review, and — when a route is genuinely eligible — a write-up of one reviewed action such as a broker opt-out or eligible Google personal-info request, with the exact steps to request it — a write-up, not a filing we make for you. Carrying out an action is limited to a small invited pilot and is not included.

Your Report

Your preview includes Google findings, court and mugshot coverage when those sources are available, and one closed-book Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 sample through the privacy-gated Gateway. People-search and data-broker coverage is not guaranteed. When sufficient required coverage is available, your preview includes a reputation score and grade. Otherwise, it shows the available findings, identifies incomplete coverage, and issues no overall score.

Why Trust FixMyRecord

Real tools, transparent methods, built by someone who went through this process personally

Proof-First Status
When we say removed, it means we have before and after verification. Otherwise we label it pending, not found, or not verified.
Honest, Not Salesy
We tell you what's fixable, what isn't, and what needs a lawyer. No record-erasing promises no one can keep.
Built by a Researcher
Built by a psychology researcher who saw the gap firsthand — designed around how people actually rebuild.

Why is clarity worth it?

The free preview shows a snapshot of public records and web sources under your name — but it can't always tell which results are actually you and which belong to a stranger who shares your name. The $50 personal diagnosis closes that gap: with your birth year and other identity context, we separate the records likely to be you from the ones that aren't, give you a plain read of what's fixable and what needs a lawyer, and — when a route is genuinely eligible — write up one reviewed action such as a broker opt-out or an eligible Google personal-info request, with the exact steps. We write it up; we don't file it for you, and we make no submission or removal promise. One time, no subscription.

Request a Diagnosis

What we can and can't do: The $10 Available Findings Report is a manually operated pilot with out-of-band payment after owner acceptance — not automated checkout, not a background check, identity guarantee, or removal service. Delivery is a secure private HTML report link with findings from sources successfully checked; people-search and data-broker coverage is not guaranteed. No overall score or grade is issued when required coverage is missing. We can't erase a court record, seal a case, or promise removal of a mugshot or news article — only a court can seal a record, and source owners control their pages. Automated removal, complaint filing, and CCPA follow-up are not part of the public pilot. The optional $50 diagnosis is handled by a person and adds identity review and one reviewed action write-up. Carrying out an action requires separate authorization and is limited to a small invited pilot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a background check?

No. FixMyRecord is not a consumer reporting agency. We scan publicly available information to show you what others can find about you online.

Will my employer see that I ran this scan?

We do not publish your scan or notify an employer. Limited data is processed by the search, email, hosting, and payment providers described in our Privacy Policy. The authorized AI sample sends only your name and listed city/state locations through our privacy-gated Gateway; it never sends your date of birth, email, phone, or street address.

What's the difference between the free preview, the $10 Available Findings Report, and the $50 diagnosis?

The free Reputation Preview summarizes passive Google/search findings, clearly labeled source coverage, and one authorized closed-book Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 observation. The $10 Available Findings Report is a manually operated pilot: after owner acceptance and manual payment, you receive a secure private link with exact public URLs from sources successfully checked. People-search and data-broker coverage may be unavailable and is not guaranteed; no overall score is issued when required coverage is missing. It does not add human review or removal work. The $50 personal diagnosis adds human identity review, a plain read of what's fixable and what may need a lawyer, and — when genuinely eligible — one reviewed action write-up such as a broker opt-out or an eligible Google personal-info request — a write-up, not a filing we make for you. Filing is not included.

Can you remove my mugshot, court record, or a news article?

No — and no honest service can promise to. Only a court can seal or expunge a record, and news outlets control their own pages. What we can do is show you public records and web sources that may affect how you are seen, help tell what's actually you versus a same-name stranger, and point you toward legal aid for anything that needs a lawyer. Where eligible, we tell you how to request removal of your personal contact info from Google search and give you the exact steps — that's a different, narrower thing, and you file it yourself.

I'm in California — should I just use the state's free DROP program?

California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) launched in 2026 and is free for California residents. For removing yourself from data brokers, it's a strong option and we recommend you check it out. What we add for California users is clarity — telling which passive Google/search and record-source results are actually you versus a same-name stranger. If data brokers are your only concern and you live in CA, DROP is a sensible starting point.

What if an old or inaccurate listing is still online?

Third-party sites can keep stale or inaccurate information even after the original source changes. Our preview helps you find those listings; for eligible personal contact info we can help request removal from Google search, and for records that need a court, we'll point you to legal aid.

Is my information safe with FixMyRecord?

We use encrypted connections and don't store your personal information beyond what's needed to run your scan and deliver your report.
