How to Remove a Home Address from Google Search in 2026.
If a private home address is appearing in Search, start with the source, then use Google's personal-information tools for qualifying results.
Clean the source first, then request removal of qualifying Google results.
Search removal and source deletion are separate. A durable privacy workflow addresses both where possible.
What to do when your home address appears in Google.
Find every indexed address listing
Search the exact address, name plus address and distinctive address fragments. Record the URLs and the sites publishing the information. Directories and broker pages often create multiple copies.
Remove or correct the source
If you control the page, remove the address. If a third-party site publishes it, use its privacy or removal process and request source-level deletion where appropriate. Google recommends addressing the source when possible.
Use Google's personal-information removal tools
Google allows requests for qualifying private information such as a home address. The search result can be removed even though the underlying website may still contain the information.
Check Results about you when available
Google's Results about you feature can help identify contact information appearing in Search and may provide a request workflow. Features are still rolling out in some markets.
Check data brokers and directory copies
An address may be reproduced by people-search sites, directories and broker databases. Search combinations of your name and address and maintain a list of remaining sources.
Consider public-interest limitations
Not every result is eligible for removal. Google may retain information that it considers valuable to the public, including some government, educational or news sources.
Separate source deletion from search removal
A Google result removal does not necessarily delete the address from the website. Treat privacy cleanup as two linked tasks: remove at source where possible and reduce qualifying search visibility.
Monitor for reappearance
After cleanup, repeat the same searches periodically. Address data can be republished or copied to new domains, especially through directory and broker networks.
Practical sequence
Map the sources, request source deletion, use Google's qualifying personal-information process, clean duplicates and monitor the result set. Keep evidence of each request and outcome.
