Sex Offender Registration Requirements
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute, there are three requirements a sex offender must fulfill in
order to be in compliance with the sex offender registry: Initial Registration, Change of Address,
and Annual Verification. Failure to comply with any one of these requirements is a felony offense.
If a sex offender resides or is present for 48 hours or more within a county or incorporated city
that does not have a city police department the sex offender shall be deemed a resident sex offender
and shall register with the sheriff’s office of the county or, if the county or the city is within
the jurisdiction of a metropolitan police department, the metropolitan police department, not later
than 48 hours after arriving or establishing a residence within the county or the city.
If the sex offender resides or is present for 48 hours or more within an incorporated city that has
a city police department, the sex offender shall be deemed a resident sex offender and shall register
with the city police department not later than 48 hours after arriving or establishing a residence
within the city.
If a sex offender changes the address at which he resides, including moving from this State to another
jurisdiction, or changes the primary address at which he is a student or worker, not later than 48 hours
after changing such an address, the sex offender shall provide the new address, in person, to the local
law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction he now resides and, in person or in writing,
to the local law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction he formerly resided and shall provide all other
information that is relevant to updating his record of registration, including, but not limited to, any
change in his name, occupation, employment, work, volunteer service or driver’s license and any change in
the license number or description of a motor vehicle registered to or frequently driven by him.
On the anniversary of the date that the Central Repository establishes a record of registration for the
sex offender, the Central Repository shall mail to the sex offender, at the address last registered by
the sex offender, a non-forwardable verification form. The sex offender shall complete and sign the form
and mail the form to the Central Repository not later than 10 days after receipt of the form to verify
that he still resides at the address he last registered. A sex offender shall include with each verification
form a current set of fingerprints, a current photograph and all other information that is relevant to updating
his record of registration, including, but not limited to, any change in his name, occupation, employment,
work, volunteer service or driver’s license and any change in the license number or description of a motor
vehicle registered to or frequently driven by him.
