REGISTRATION AND OBTAINING INFORMATION
Changes to Title 18,
Chapter 83, Idaho Code, "Sexual Offender Registration Notification and Community
Right-to-Know Act", require all persons with a duty to register as sexual
offenders and re-register on an annual basis. This law went into effect July 1,
1998. Registration includes completion of detailed forms, fingerprints and
photographs. There is a $10.00 fee due, in cash, at the time of registration.
All persons with a duty to register will have to re-register annually,
regardless of the date of the last registration.
Along with this duty to register, the new law allows the release of sexual
offender information to the public upon written request from either the Idaho
State Police's Bureau of Criminal Identification or the Sheriff's Office. You
may also search the database.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This information is made available for the purpose of protecting the

In addition, please consider the following limitations when using information
from the Idaho Sex Offender Registry:
The registry does not contain information on all sex offenders. The information
is limited by the effective date of the registry (July 1, 1993) and to those
offenders who have been convicted of a crime specified in the registry law. The
registry does not contain information on those individuals whose illegal sexual
behaviors have not come to the attention of the authorities.
The Idaho State Police attempts to assure that the registry is accurate and
current. Although the registry database is updated on a regular basis, the
information can change quickly. You are cautioned, therefore, that the
information provided is date sensitive and only reflects that which has been
received and subsequently automated by the department.
If you have questions about the registry and the information provided, you may
call the Idaho State Police, Bureau of Criminal Identification at (208)
884-7305, or log on to their website.
Secondary dissemination of registry information requires the inclusion of the
above warning and cautionary statements.
