Registry data for government & research
Access normalized, source-tagged sex-offender registry data across every US jurisdiction for public-safety programs and research — with bulk-friendly, auditable results.
No code needed — search from your dashboard, or integrate the full API when you’re ready.
The problem for government agencies and research teams
- Registry formats differ across every jurisdiction
- Research needs consistent, structured, source-tagged data
- Programs require an auditable data lineage
Outcomes
- Work with one schema instead of dozens
- Preserve source lineage on every record
- Support large, periodic, auditable pulls
How Offendersearch helps
One normalized schema
Heterogeneous sources across every US jurisdiction mapped into a single consistent record shape.
Source lineage
Every record retains its source and when it was verified.
Bulk-friendly access
Async deep searches and metered pricing support large, periodic data pulls.
Questions from government agencies and research teams
Can we pull large datasets periodically?
Yes. Use the async endpoint, which queries every named jurisdiction live rather than serving from cache; metered pricing supports large recurring pulls.
Is the data lineage preserved?
Every normalized record retains its source, provenance, and lastCheckedAt timestamp.
Registry and criminal records on one key
Most government agencies and research 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 government agencies and research 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 |
A batch is billed per row, so bulk screening costs the same per person as a single lookup. Full pricing · screen a CSV without code.
