Last Modified Date: Feb 11, 2024

In this post, we’ll cover what Florida Residents is and provide step-by-step instructions on How to Opt Out of Florida Residents.

What is Florida Residents?

Florida Residents is a website that provides a searchable database of historical and voter registration for the state of Florida. This data broker helps you locate individuals from the state of Florida by name, phone number, city, or county. These records include personal data like names, phone numbers, residences, date of birth, race, and voting profile.

Although they claim their records are not up-to-date, the data Florida Residents have collected can still be misused by others. Regardless of accuracy, all of this information is shared without the owner’s full consent. This exposes us to the risks of phishing scams and identity theft.
