How to remove yourself from Drunk Drivers
Drunk Drivers publishes DUI arrest and booking records and takes removal requests by email. Send your full name and the full URL of the page that shows it. The address is displayed on the site's remove-my-info page.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Drunk Drivers to be one of many.

Drunk Drivers doesn't say how long removal takes. Under California law, a business has 45 days to act on a deletion request (15 business days for an opt-out of sale).
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.

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.
