Lansing: The Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry (PSOR) is now available on the United States Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR), joining 22 other states whose registries are currently available on the national site.  The NSOPR is available online at www.nsopr.gov.  

Using the NSOPR, citizens can conduct a single search to identify sex offenders nationwide, allowing access to offender information beyond state boundaries without having to visit each state’s individual registry.  In addition, Michigan’s information can be searched from the NSOPR using the first and last names of offenders.  The Michigan PSOR requires a zip-code or name and approximate age.

There are 37,300 offenders on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry (SOR) and 20,500 on the PSOR.  The PSOR is available online at http://www.mipsor.state.mi.us/.
