F YOU HAVE EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A SEX OFFENSE, you may be required to register under California law as a sex offender.
The registration law may have changed since you were convicted. The sex offense for which you were convicted may have been added to the law requiring registration after the date of your conviction. If the offense was added to the registration law after your conviction date, you may not have received personal notice of your duty to register as a sex offender.
Check with your local law enforcement agency to see if the sex offense for which you were convicted requires registration today. To register in Marin County go to the Marin County Sheriff’s Department during regular business hours. In other counties check with your local law enforcement agency or local sheriff’s department for registration information. IT IS A CRIME TO FAIL TO REGISTER.
