National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is a free, electronic database managed by the U.S. Department of Justice that helps connect families, law enforcement, and medical professionals regarding missing and unidentified persons. It provides a centralized platform to share information, photos, and reports about missing individuals and unidentified remains, facilitating investigations and searches nationwide. NamUs aims to bring closure to families and assist authorities in identifying unknown persons efficiently by promoting collaboration and access to vital data.
