The Department of Correction shall provide written notification to the sex offender of the
duty to register with the sheriff of the county in which the offender resides or is temporarily
domiciled.
This applies to the following:
To all Idaho convictions that fit the definition of a sex offender prior to July 1, 1993,
if the person is still incarcerated, on probation, or on parole.
To anyone convicted of a sex offense that fits the definition of a sex offender (Idaho
and non-Idaho) after July 1, 1993.
To all out of state convictions that fit the definition of a sex offender and are
currently under supervision.
To anyone who enters the state of Idaho on or after July 1, 1993, and who has pled
guilty or has been found guilty in another state, territory, commonwealth, or
jurisdiction of the United States that is substantially equivalent to the definition of a
sex offender.
The original written notice will be signed by the client and placed in the Department of
Correction central file. One copy shall be provided to the client. If the client refuses to
sign the notice, it will be noted on the original document.
Prior to an inmate's release from confinement in any Idaho penal institution, it is the
responsibility of the releasing institution to provide written notification of the duty to
register. The written notice will be signed by the inmate and one copy shall be retained in
the Department of Correction central file and one copy shall be provided to the inmate. If
the inmate refuses to sign the notice, the refusal will be noted on the original document.
