Sex-offender screening for social media platforms
From creator programs to communities with minors, screen accounts against every US registry — at signup, inside moderation queues, and across your existing base — with a scored API built for platform scale.
No code needed — search from your dashboard, or integrate the full API when you’re ready.
The problem for trust & safety teams at social and creator platforms
- Creator programs and monetization raise the bar on who you platform
- Communities where minors are present carry a different duty than general UGC
- A reported account needs an answer in the review queue, not next week
- Screening at platform volume needs scores and de-duplication, not raw name lists
Outcomes
- Gate creator and monetization programs with a real screen
- Give moderators ranked, source-cited answers in the queue
- Sweep an existing user base without drowning reviewers
How Offendersearch helps
Signup and monetization gates
A low-latency sync call fits inside account creation or creator-program acceptance, so the gate runs where the risk starts.
Inside the moderation queue
A reviewer runs a reported account’s name — in the dashboard or by API — and gets ranked candidates with photographs and official registry records to decide from.
Sweep the existing base
Run the back catalog in batches by CSV or API; confidence scores and cross-source de-duplication keep the review queue proportionate to real risk.
Questions from trust & safety teams at social and creator platforms
Is it fast enough to sit inside signup?
Yes. The sync endpoint answers from our current snapshot, and every response reports its own elapsedMs so you can hold it to your own latency budget.
Can non-engineering trust & safety staff use it?
Yes. The dashboard is a search box with photographs and official registry records on every match — reviewers can work a queue without touching the API. The first 25 searches are free.
How do you keep false positives manageable at our scale?
Every record carries a confidence score and match basis, and people are de-duplicated across sources, so a common name returns one ranked candidate set rather than a pile of raw rows.
Is this a background check / consumer report?
No. Offendersearch is not a consumer reporting agency and results are not a consumer report; do not use them for FCRA-covered decisions without appropriate process.
Registry and criminal records on one key
Most trust & safety teams at social and creator platforms 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 trust & safety teams at social and creator platforms 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.
