Search US public records by name

County and statewide criminal indexes, where the source jurisdiction publishes them. Coverage is uneven by design of the system rather than ours — some counties publish decades of filings and others publish nothing — so an empty result means nothing was located, not that nothing exists.

A match check against the national sex offender registry index. It answers one question and returns a match or no match rather than a count, which is why this is the only category in a report that never carries a number.

Every address we can tie to a name, with the period each one was current. This is usually the fullest part of a report, and the part people actually use to work out whether they have found the right person out of ten with the same name.

Landline and mobile numbers associated with a name, with line type and the carrier where the carrier can be identified. Numbers persist in source data long after they are disconnected, so an old number appearing is common.

Email addresses that appear alongside a name in the source data. This is the thinnest category we return — a great many people have no email record at all, and a blank result here is ordinary rather than a failure.

County assessor and deed records for property tied to a name: the parcel, its assessed value, and when it last changed hands. Property held through a trust or a company does not appear under a personal name, which is a real limit rather than a gap in coverage.

Civil filings and judgments — liens, evictions, small claims, bankruptcies. Civil matters only; criminal charges are a separate category, and the two are recorded by different courts and published on different terms.

People who appear connected to a name through shared addresses, shared surnames or shared records. These are inferred associations rather than confirmed relationships, and the list will usually include some people who are neither relatives nor associates.
