Radaris Alternative and Sites Like Radaris Now That Radaris Is Down

MugshotLookup is a Radaris alternative for people who were using Radaris to check whether someone was arrested or has a court case. Radaris.com stopped showing records in late August 2026, after a New Jersey court ordered the domain transferred in a privacy lawsuit. Our arrest records name the sheriff's office or court that holds them, give the date and link to the official page. Demo searches need no card.

What happened to Radaris

Locked records room with closed file cabinets and a single desk lamp

Radaris is down because a New Jersey court entered a default judgment against it in late August 2026 and ordered radaris.com, along with 13 other domains, transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corporation. The case was brought under Daniel's Law, which protects the home addresses and phone numbers of police officers, judges and prosecutors. The domain now shows a court notice instead of profiles.

  • The case is Atlas Data Privacy Corporation v. Radaris.com, filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, in February 2024.
  • Radaris did not appear to defend it, which is why it ended in a default judgment. Its lawyer has said it will pursue appeals.
  • Reporting by Krebs on Security says the same operators run more than two dozen other people search domains that the order does not cover.
  • Earlier reviews priced Radaris at about $24.95 a month for a membership and up to about $49.95 for a single full background report, with trial offers that renewed into a paid plan.

If you were paying Radaris, cancel the charge with your card issuer, because there is no working account page to cancel from on the old domain.

Radaris had one thing going for it that is fair to admit. It showed a lot for free, including names, past addresses and relatives, before asking you to pay. If what you need is a free address preview, a site like ours is not the answer. If what you need is to know whether someone was arrested and what the court did, a records first service gets you there with a source you can check.

What a MugshotLookup report shows for an arrest

Each arrest and booking record is its own row with its own source. You can open the county roster or court page from the row and check it yourself before you act on it.

  • Booking date, arresting agency, charges at booking and bond, where the source publishes them
  • The case outcome next to the arrest when the court reports it, including dismissed and dropped charges and acquittals
  • Age, city and booking date, so you can tell apart two people with the same name
  • Booking photos only where state law allows commercial display and the source provides them
  • Reverse phone, email and address lookups in the same membership
  • Email alerts when a new booking or filing appears for a person you follow, 5 people on the base plan

The Plus plan adds Enhanced Criminal Records, Court Records Search and Nationwide Search for people who check records every week. An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.

What to do about a Radaris charge on your card

A Radaris membership or trial that was still running when the domain went dark can keep billing, because the payment is handled separately from the website. Look at your last three card statements for repeat charges with a Radaris or similar merchant name.

  1. Write down each charge, the date and the amount.

  2. Call your card issuer, say the service is no longer available on its website and you cannot cancel there, and ask them to block future charges from that merchant.

  3. Ask the issuer whether a dispute is possible for charges after late August 2026, when the site stopped working.

  4. If you still need the record you were paying Radaris for, run the same name and state in the search form on this page first and see which official sources cover that county.

Are sites run by the Radaris operators still safe to use

Some of the sites Krebs on Security linked to the same operators are still online, because the court order named 14 domains and the network has many more. They show the same kind of data with the same weak points. Reviews of Radaris described results that mixed up people with similar names, removal that only worked if you made an account, and records that reappeared months after an opt-out. The Better Business Bureau rated Radaris F at the time of that reporting.

None of that makes every people search site risky. It means it is worth checking three things before you pay any of them. Does each record name its source? Can you remove your own data without creating an account? Are the renewal terms written next to the price? Our answers are on the mugshot lookup cost page and the opt out page.

What a year of each option costs

Here is what twelve months come to before tax, for the options people usually move to after Radaris.

How you pay Cost over 12 months
TruthFinder monthly plan, renewed every month About $337 to $360
Spokeo 3 month plan renewed four times About $179, court records extra
BeenVerified 3 month plan renewed four times About $288
PeopleFinders Premium, the plan with criminal records About $359
MugshotLookup Unlimited, billed annually $209.40, arrest records and alerts included
MugshotLookup Unlimited, monthly $419.40

If you only need one answer this week, our monthly plan is not the cheapest way to get it. If you check on people through the year, an annual plan with arrest records, sources and alerts in it costs less than the memberships most people pick after Radaris.

How to switch from Radaris in four steps

  1. Stop any Radaris charge through your card issuer, since there is no account page left to cancel from.

  2. Enter the name and state you were checking in the search form at the top of this page, and look at which official sources cover that county.

  3. Pick a plan. Annual billing halves the monthly price, and the renewal terms sit next to each plan before checkout.

  4. Add the people you were checking on to arrest alerts by email, so a new booking reaches you without another search.

Who should pick MugshotLookup as a Radaris replacement

Public records reading room with microfilm readers

It suits people who used Radaris to answer a question about an arrest. A father who wants to know whether his daughter's new boyfriend has a record. A woman checking a match before a first date. Someone who needs to see whether a relative was booked again and which jail holds him. In each case the record and its source matter more than a list of old phone numbers.

It suits less if you mainly used Radaris for free address previews, or for property and business records. A contact focused service fits that better, and our Spokeo alternative and sites like Whitepages pages compare those prices honestly.

MugshotLookup is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). You may not use this site or any information from it to make decisions about employment, tenant screening, consumer credit, insurance or any other purpose covered by the FCRA.

Questions and answers

Why is Radaris not working?

Radaris is not working because a New Jersey court ordered radaris.com transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corporation in late August 2026, in a lawsuit under Daniel's Law. The domain now shows a court notice instead of search results. Radaris did not defend the case, and its lawyer has said it will appeal.

What sites are like Radaris?

TruthFinder, Spokeo, BeenVerified, PeopleFinders, Intelius and Whitepages are sites like Radaris, and all of them sell people search reports built from public records. For arrest and court records with the source and date on every record, MugshotLookup is the closer fit. Compare them on the best arrest record search site page.

Is Radaris coming back?

Nobody can say yet. Radaris's lawyer told reporters it will pursue appeals and called the domain transfer an unconstitutional forfeiture, so the case may continue. Other domains run by the same operators are still online. Until a court says otherwise, radaris.com itself shows only the court notice.

Did Radaris show arrest records?

Radaris full background reports included a criminal check, sold for about $19.99 to $49.95 a report before the site went down. The records came as a summary and did not tell you which county or court to call. Reviewers also reported results that mixed up people with similar names.

What is the best Radaris alternative?

The best Radaris alternative depends on what you used it for. For arrest records and mugshots with sources, MugshotLookup fits because every arrest shows the agency and the date and links to the official page. For contact details and addresses, Spokeo or Whitepages are the closer match.

Does MugshotLookup charge to remove a record?

No. Opt-out, removal and correction of your own record are free and handled within 72 hours, with a 24 hour priority lane for people at risk. You do not need an account to ask. See opt out.
