Virginia Sex Offender Registry

Virginia maintains a public, searchable registry where you can look up registered sex offenders by name, address, ZIP code, county, or city. Information is provided by the responsible state agency and is the most authoritative source available.

The Virginia registry typically lets the public search by:

• Offender nameFirst, last, or partial name match.
• Address or ZIP codeView registered offenders within a specified radius of an address.
• City or countyBrowse the list of registered offenders in a specific area.
• Map viewMany states offer interactive maps showing offender locations.
• Email or text alertsSubscribe to notifications when an offender registers near you.

• Virginia Public Records HubAll Virginia public record categories in one place.
• Virginia Criminal RecordsCriminal history, arrest records, and conviction information.
• Virginia Court RecordsTrial court, appellate, and case-document searches.

• Virginia Police RecordsLocal police departments and incident reports.
• Virginia Inmate SearchState and county jail roster lookups.
• Virginia Most WantedActive fugitive bulletins from Virginia agencies.
• Virginia Missing ChildrenMissing children and AMBER Alert resources for Virginia.

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 Virginia State Police directly.

Many counties in Virginia 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.
