YES. You must continue to keep your registration current and accurate. After completing your registration period, you will have the opportunity to petition the court to be removed from the sex offender registry. For your petition for removal to succeed, you must provide proof of your current registration with your petition.

Your commitment to keeping your registration consistent and accurate is the most important part of whether your petition will succeed. If you are eligible for removal, a good track record of registration will make it more likely a judge will grant your petition. If you have any questions about your registration, please contact the public defender in the county where you live and register. If you are unclear about any of the rules about your registration, ask your local public defender’s office or the law enforcement agency where you register.
