How Offendersearch helps
Inline KYC screening
Low-latency sync calls slot into account-opening and onboarding flows without adding drop-off.
Nationwide in one call
A single request covers the 50 states, DC, and US territories, catching prior registrations wherever an applicant has lived.
Audit-ready provenance
matchConfidence, matchBasis, and source provenance on every hit give risk and audit teams a defensible file.
Questions from banks, lenders, and fintech risk teams
Can this fit inside a real-time onboarding flow?
Yes. The sync endpoint is served from our current snapshot and reports its own elapsedMs on every response, so you can size it against your flow; deep national searches are available async.
Is this a consumer report for lending decisions?
No. Offendersearch is not a consumer reporting agency and results are not a consumer report; do not use them for FCRA-covered credit or lending decisions without appropriate process.
Registry and criminal records on one key
Most banks, lenders, and fintech risk teams need more than one check, and running two vendors means two integrations, two contracts and two invoices. Both run on the same account, the same key and the same response shape.
Sex offender registry
58 US registries — the 50 states, DC and the territories — continuously updated, with photographs, aliases, addresses and the official record citation on every match.
Criminal records
more than a thousand county, state and federal jurisdictions — county jail rosters, statewide prison systems, court records and warrants — with coverage in every US state, in the same scored, source-cited schema.
1,375
county jurisdictions in the criminal roster — the layer where most US matters begin, and the one thin vendors skip.
51
states with a live statewide prison system, for the post-conviction picture in the same call.
58
US sex offender registries, continuously updated — the check banks, lenders, and fintech risk teams are most often required to run.

Per check, with no floor underneath it
$0.15 a call, dropping to $0.11 for every call past 2,000 in a calendar month. No setup fee, no per-seat licence, no monthly minimum and no annual contract — so the price scales down with you as well as up.
| Checks / month | Cost | Per check |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | $75.00 | $0.1500 |
| 5,000 | $630.00 | $0.1260 |
| 50,000 | $5,580.00 | $0.1116 |
