What is Florida's Sex Offender Registry?

Florida Statute 943.0435 requires individuals convicted of a sex crime to register as a sex offender for the remainder of their life and regularly update their personal information. Failure to comply with the many parameters of Florida's registration law is a felony offense and could result in additional fines and further incarceration.

Some of Florida's registration requirements are:

• Reporting to local Sheriff's offices – A person convicted of a sex crime must register themselves by reporting in person to a local sheriff's office within 48 hours of being released from incarceration
• Provide personal information for online registry – A person convicted of a sex crime must disclose a plethora of personal information that will become public record, such as; their name, date of birth, social security number, address, vehicle information, employment information, and fingerprints (among other things)
• Reregister every time you move – A person convicted of a sex crime must reregister with the local sheriff's office by updating their address and personal information every time they relocate
• Reregister multiple times a year – A person convicted of a sex crime must reregister with a local sheriff's office up to four times a year, depending on the offense

Failure to meet any requirement established by Florida Statute 943.0435 can result in you being arrested and charged with a third degree felony.
