Searching public records
We believe everyone deserves access to public records — fast, affordable, and without the runaround. MohnMatrix uses AI to search court records, criminal databases, and public registries across all 50 states in seconds.
Public records are public for a reason — but accessing them has historically been expensive, slow, and confusing. MohnMatrix changes that.
Whether you're a parent checking a new babysitter, someone going on a first date, or a family trying to send money to an incarcerated loved one — we built MohnMatrix so that critical information is always within reach.
Your searches are never shared or sold
AI-powered search in seconds, not days
Free tier available — no credit card required
End-to-end encryption on all data
MohnMatrix was founded in Richmond, Virginia. We started by building the most comprehensive Virginia court record search available, and we're expanding state by state to cover all 50 states.
Our team combines expertise in AI, legal technology, and public records to deliver a platform that's both powerful and easy to use.
MohnMatrix is an AI-powered public records intelligence platform that aggregates criminal court records, arrest data, warrant information, sex offender registries, and other publicly available information into a single, fast, easy-to-understand search experience. We search the same court databases that attorneys, law enforcement, and journalists use — but we deliver results in seconds, translated from complex legal codes into plain English.
Our platform serves multiple use cases. Individuals use MohnMatrix to check the background of someone they met on a dating app, verify a potential babysitter or caregiver, or research their own records. Landlords use it for tenant screening. Attorneys use it for case research across jurisdictions. Bail bondsmen use it to manage their client portfolio and receive qualified leads. Families of incarcerated individuals use our inmate services to send affordable phone calls, letters, books, and commissary orders.
Every search on MohnMatrix queries official court record systems in real time. In Virginia, that means we access all 120 General District Courts and 31 Circuit Courts across the Commonwealth. Our AI engine parses raw court data — case numbers, charge codes, disposition codes, and sentencing details — and translates them into a clear report with risk scores, charge explanations, and case timelines.
Privacy is not an afterthought at MohnMatrix — it is a core design principle. We never sell your search data or personal information to third parties. All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3, and data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. Payments are processed through Stripe, which handles your payment information — we never see or store your card numbers.
When you search someone on MohnMatrix, that search is confidential. The person you search is never notified. We do not send alerts to subjects of searches. Your search history is visible only to you and is protected by your account credentials.
For Virginia residents, we honor all applicable rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), including the right to access, correct, and delete personal data. We also comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) — MohnMatrix is not a Consumer Reporting Agency, and our reports should not be used for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions.
Traditional background check services take days or weeks to return results. They often charge $30-$50 per search and lock you into monthly subscriptions with hidden cancellation fees. MohnMatrix is different. Our proprietary AI engine connects directly to court record systems and returns results in under 30 seconds. Your first search is always free — no credit card required.
Our AI does more than just fetch records. It analyzes charge patterns, identifies repeat offenders, detects escalating behavior, and generates a risk score from 0 to 100. It translates Virginia Code sections like "§ 18.2-266" into plain English: "First-offense DUI — Class 1 misdemeanor, commonly results in probation and license suspension." This makes criminal records accessible to everyone, not just attorneys.
MohnMatrix is more than a background check site. We offer a suite of tools designed to make the criminal justice system more navigable for everyday people:
We believe that access to public records is a right, not a privilege. The information in court records belongs to the public — it was generated by public institutions, funded by taxpayers, and exists for transparency and accountability. But accessing that information has historically required either legal expertise, expensive subscriptions, or hours spent navigating clunky government websites.
MohnMatrix removes those barriers. We make public records fast, affordable, and understandable. Whether you are a single parent checking a new babysitter, someone going on a first date from a dating app, or a family member trying to track a loved one's court case — we built MohnMatrix for you.
