National Sex Offender Search

Each state maintains a Sex Offender Registry. The National Sex Offender Registry search checks each state's registry, providing a cost-effective means to perform a single, nationwide search of registered sex offenders, inclusive of all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The search accesses public information from each state regarding the presence or location of offenders, who, in most cases, have been convicted of sexually-violent offenses against adults and children and certain sexual contact and other crimes against victims who are minors. Please note, this does not contain information on all convicted sex offenders. Some states provide information only for sex offenders with assessment scores of Intermediate or High. A detailed description of what information each state provides is available upon request. To search lower levels, a manual search with the state may be necessary. Results vary by state but typically include; full name of the offender, classification of the offense, and last known address.
