Offendersearch
The dataset · 100% US coverage

The national sex offender database, in one schema.

1.5 million records across all 58 US registries — every state, DC and the territories — continuously updated, de-duplicated into one record per person, and cited back to the official registry on every record.

What is in it

The richest offender record in the category

Identity, in depth

Full name with aliases and nicknames, date of birth or age with its precision labelled, sex, race and ethnicity — the fields that separate two people who share a name.

Photographs

Registry photographs on records nationwide, served reliably — the field a human verifies against first.

Addresses, typed and mapped

Residence — and where published, employment and school — as structured addresses with coordinates, ready for display or radius search. Housing status is normalized to housed, homeless or incarcerated.

Offense history

Every conviction, not just the first: description, statute, tier or risk level and dates, normalized into one shape across all 58 registries.

Physical description

Height, weight, eye and hair colour, and scars, marks and tattoos where the registry publishes them.

Flags and status

Absconder and predator designations, registration state, and every registry that holds the person — de-duplicated into one record per human being.

A citation on every record

The registry’s own permanent link to the person, and the time the record was last read — the provenance a defensible decision gets filed with.

One schema for all of it

76 fields, identical in shape from Alabama to Wyoming to the territories, so one integration reads every jurisdiction.

FAQ

About the database

How big is the database?

1.5 million records with 100% US coverage: all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the US territories — 58 registries in one place, de-duplicated so a person registered in two states is one record with both citations.

How current is it?

Continuously updated — and rather than asking you to take that on faith, every record carries the time it was last read, so currency is visible per record and per source.

How do I access it?

Two ways, one account: a no-code dashboard where you search by name and upload CSVs, and an enterprise-grade API that returns scored, source-cited JSON. The first 25 searches are free either way.

Can I download the whole database?

It is served as a search service rather than a bulk file: you query it and receive current, scored records with citations. For high-volume and enterprise arrangements, contact us.

Is this a consumer report?

No. Offendersearch is not a consumer reporting agency and results are not a consumer report; they must not be used for FCRA-covered decisions without appropriate process. Use is subject to our acceptable-use terms and applicable law.
