A ZIP code is enough. A street address is better, because it lets the search work outward from an exact point rather than a postal area.

The limit: a radius search sees registrants whose published address we have been able to place on a map coordinate. That is the large majority, not all — and a registrant listed as transient has no address for anyone to place.

How to read a sex offender registry record
- A registry lists people a state requires to register — it is not a list of everyone who has committed an offence, and registration rules differ by state
- Names repeat. Check the photograph, the date of birth or age, and the official record before concluding anything about a particular person
- An address is where a registrant last reported living, not where they are now, and registries update on their own schedules
- Using this information to harass, threaten or exclude someone is a crime in every US state

Sex offenders near me: common questions
Personal awareness only. Standard OffenderSearch results are not a consumer report; employment, tenancy and credit decisions run through FCRA Partner Access.
How close is "near me"?
Close to home first. Your free count starts near the address and looks further out when nobody is that close, so the answer is about your neighborhood, not the whole state.
Is this a map?
Yes, inside your account. The free count is followed by a map of your area: every located registrant is a pin, and every pin opens the full record — photograph, address as published, offense history and the official record link. For a national picture, the public sex offender map shades every state.
Does it find everyone nearby?
It finds registrants whose published address we hold and have geocoded, which is the large majority but not all of them. Registries also publish addresses at different precisions, and some registrants are listed as transient or without a fixed address at all — those cannot be placed on a radius by anyone. Pair a radius search with a name or ZIP search when completeness matters.
Is the information current?
Records are kept current, and every record links to the official state registry so you can confirm it at the source before acting on it.
What can I use this for?
Personal awareness. Standard OffenderSearch results are not a consumer report — they must not be used for employment, tenancy, credit or other FCRA-covered decisions, which run through FCRA Partner Access. Using registry information to harass or threaten anyone is a crime in every state.
