National/State Sex Offender Registry

The National Sex Offender Public Registry website—coordinated by the Department of Justice—enables every citizen to search the latest information from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico for the identity and location of known sex offenders.

To run a search: Enter the site, select the "I agree" button under Conditions of Use, fill out the Search form, and select "Search."

You can also search registry websites maintained by individual states by following the links below. Note: the information contained in the national registry and the state registries is identical; the national registry simply enables a search across multiple states.
