Important Oregon Law Information

Oregon law regarding sex offenders was passed to assist law enforcement in identifying offenders and preventing offenders from committing future crimes.

The law requires that:

  • After being convicted of certain sexual offenses, an offender is required to register in the state of Oregon.
  • This is a lifetime registration.
  • If an offender moves to Oregon from out of the state, he or she is required to register within 10 days.
  • An offender is required to report any changes of address.
  • Unless a change of address is reported, an offender is required to register once annually, within 10 days before or after their birthday.
