How to opt out of Drunk Drivers
- 1
Find the page with your name
Search your name on drunkdrivers.org, or search it on Google, and open the record. Copy the full address from the browser bar.
- 2
Get the contact address
Open drunkdrivers.org/remove-my-info. The "Contact Us" email is on that page.
- 3
Email your name and the URL
The site says it needs two things for removal: your full name and the full URL containing your name. Put both in one message.
- 4
Check the record is gone
The site says it tries to approve requests as soon as they arrive. Reload the URL after a few days and search your name again in case a second record exists.
Watch out for
- One URL per record: the site asks for the full URL of the page, so list every page that shows you.
- The site says its records come from the public domain and that an arrest isn't a conviction. Removing the page doesn't change the public record itself.

Does it come back?
Drunk Drivers doesn't publish a relisting policy. The site is built from public arrest and booking records, so a new record can appear if one is added at the source.
Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
General information, not legal advice.
Frequently asked
Is Drunk Drivers an official government site?
No. It describes itself as a site that reproduces publicly available arrest and booking information and says it doesn't guarantee accuracy.
Does an entry mean I was convicted?
The site's own disclaimer says an arrest record doesn't mean the person was convicted, and that the data may not reflect charging decisions or trial outcomes.
What do I need to send?
Your full name and the full URL of the page that shows it.
