Court Records Search $9.95 per month Court case indexes with case numbers, courts, filing dates and case status

Billing terms in plain words

Couple deciding on a monthly records plan at their kitchen table

A membership is a subscription. Here is exactly how it bills, so nothing surprises you on a card statement.

  • Monthly plans charge the monthly price on the day you join and on the same day each month.
  • Annual plans charge the yearly amount once, on the day you join, and once a year after that.
  • Every plan renews automatically until you cancel.
  • You cancel online in one click from your account. We confirm the cancellation by email.
  • After you cancel, access continues until the end of the period you paid for, and you are not charged again.
  • There is no trial that turns into a paid plan and there are no setup or cancellation fees.
  • Before you pay, you see the price, the billing period and the renewal terms, and you agree to them with a box that is never checked for you.
  • If we charge you in error or after you cancelled, write to support@mugshotlookup.com and we refund that charge.

Sales tax is added where the law requires it. The full terms are in the Terms of Service.

What to check MugshotLookup Typical people search sites
Source and date of a record On every row, with a link to the official agency Often a summary with no source and no date
Fee to remove a record or a booking photo None. Opt-out, removal and correction are free Some sites have charged for removal, which several states now ban
Price and renewal terms Next to every price, before any payment Often an introductory price, with the renewal terms in small print
Counts shown before you pay No teaser counts. The search plan lists official sources only Often counts and progress bars that suggest a record exists
Purposes covered by the FCRA Ruled out at every search, with no screening products Often a disclaimer in the footer only
How you cancel Online, in one click Often by phone or by chat
Outcome of an arrest Dismissals, dropped charges and acquittals shown when the source reports them Often the arrest alone

For newsrooms, law offices and investigators

Professional gives a small team one place for public records research, with the controls an editor or a managing attorney asks about. One membership replaces hours of county by county searching.

  • 3 seats with roles, so an editor or supervisor manages who can search.
  • A search audit log that records who searched what, and when.
  • Source, jurisdiction and date on every record, ready to cite or verify.
  • PDF and CSV export for case files and research notes.
  • Invoice copies by email for your accounts.
  • A permitted purpose statement accepted by every seat, and a written policy that excludes any use covered by the FCRA.

Professional is self-serve. You create the account, add your seats and start searching the same day.

What your membership cannot be used for
