Trick-or-Treat Safety Check
About 1,560,000 sex-offender registry records are indexed across all 58 US registries — and before trick-or-treat night is the one evening a year most parents want to know their own streets. Search any neighborhood on your route below: every US registry in one pass, continuously updated, with photographs and a link to the official registry record behind every match.
No code needed — type a name, city, or ZIP and get photographs and official registry records.
Search where you’ll walk
One search covers every US registry — all 50 states, DC, and the territories — so a neighbor who registered somewhere else still surfaces. Narrow to your city or ZIP for each stretch of the route.

Check your route before the 31st
1 · Search each neighborhood
Walk the route in your head and search every stretch of it — by city, by ZIP, or a radius around a point. A whole cul-de-sac takes seconds; a whole town takes a minute.
2 · Verify what you see
Every match carries photographs, addresses, and a link to the official registry record, so anything that concerns you can be verified at the source that published it — not taken on faith from a map pin.
3 · Plan the night
Use what you learn the way safety experts do: an adult along, kids in groups, well-lit streets, candy checked at home. The registry is one input into that plan — awareness for parents, never a list of doors to mark or confront.
Trick-or-treat safety, state by state
Each page carries that state’s own numbers — registrants we index and the rate per 1,000 residents — plus its largest city pages and a search scoped to the state.
Halloween safety questions parents ask
How do I check my trick-or-treat route?
Three steps. Search each neighborhood you plan to walk — by city or ZIP — in the box above. Review the matches: each carries photographs, addresses, and a link to the official registry record, so you can verify anything you see at the source that published it. Then plan the night with what you know: go together, keep to well-lit streets, and stay with your group. Your first 25 searches are free, no card required.
How many registered sex offenders are there in the US?
We index about 1,560,000 registry records across all 58 US registries — every state, DC, and the territories. The population moves continuously as people are added, move, or are released from the requirement, so treat the figure as scale. The per-state pages below carry each state's own number and its rate per 1,000 residents.
Is it legal to check the registry before Halloween?
Yes. Registries are public by law precisely so communities can be aware — checking who is registered near where your children will walk is exactly the use the law intends. What the law prohibits everywhere is using registry information to harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Look, know, and plan; never confront.
Should we skip the houses that come up?
The registry is awareness, not a target list — most registrants are legally required to be exactly where they are, and many jurisdictions restrict whether registrants participate in Halloween at all. What actually protects kids on Halloween is supervision: an adult along, groups, lit porches, checked candy. Knowing your neighborhood is one input into that plan, not a substitute for it.
Does one search really cover every state?
Yes — a single search runs across every US registry at once: all 50 states, DC, and the territories. That matters on Halloween because people move; someone on your street who registered in another state still surfaces. Narrowing to your city or ZIP filters where people live — it never shrinks where we look.
Offendersearch is not a consumer reporting agency and results are not a consumer report. Do not use them for FCRA-covered decisions without appropriate process. Using registry information to harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone is prohibited by law.
