Using This Information Responsibly

Sex offender registry information is provided to help the public protect themselves and their families. It must not be used to harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against any individual. Misuse may be a criminal offense under state and federal law.

If you have specific safety concerns or believe a registered offender is in violation, contact your local law enforcement agency or the Kentucky State Police directly.

Kentucky County-Level Sex Offender Resources

Many counties in Kentucky maintain local sex-offender resources that supplement the statewide registry. County sheriff offices, prosecutor's offices, and probation departments may publish offender lists, community notification alerts, and address-level lookups.

How to use county-level resources: Start with the statewide registry above for the most complete picture, then check the county sheriff's website where the offender currently resides for local enforcement updates, registration-violation alerts, and community-notification programs.

Kentucky sex offender registry questions

Open only the answer you need.

Where do I start a Kentucky sex offender registry?

Start with the statewide source listed first on this page, Search NSOPW (Nationwide), then use the court, vital records and license offices in the cards for the specific record you need. Every link goes to the agency that keeps the record.

Can I use these Kentucky records for hiring or tenant screening?

Not directly. PublicRecordCenter.com is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Employment, tenant, credit and insurance decisions require a compliant screening provider that follows the FCRA and Kentucky law.
