Michigan Sex Offender FAQ

3/14/2013

 
MICHIGAN SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION

Does Michigan provide sex offender information via the Internet?

Yes. Convicted sex offenders who qualify under the Sex Offenders Registration Act, Act 295 of 1994, are listed on the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry (PSOR) website. The Internet address is www.mipsor.state.mi.us.

How much information about offenders is provided to the public?

The Public Sex Offender Registry site includes an offender's registerable offense, his/her photo (when available), a physical description, the offender's last reported address, whether the offender is enrolled at a post secondary school, employment address(es), vehicle information, and any known aliases. This information can be printed from the web page.

I know of someone who was convicted of a sex crime in Michigan, but his/her name is not on the list. Why not?

- There are several reasons a sex offender may not be on the Public Sex Offender Registry, including:

- The offender is an adjudicated juvenile.

- The offender is deceased.

- The offender is not a Michigan resident.

- The offender is registered for a single Tier 1 offense.

- The offender's conviction was not a listed offense requiring registration.

- The offender's conviction date was prior to October 1, 1995, and the offender was no longer involved with the criminal justice system for that offense at that time.

Who has to register as a sexual offender in Michigan?

- Anyone who resides, works, or is a student in Michigan is required to register if any of the following apply:

- Anyone convicted of a listed offense after October 1, 1995.

- Anyone convicted of a listed offense on or before October 1, 1995, if on October 1, 1995, he/she was on probation or parole, committed to jail, committed to the Department of Corrections, or under the jurisdiction of the juvenile division of the probate court or the department of social services for that listed offense.

- Anyone convicted of an offense on or before October 1, 1995, if on October 1, 1995, he or she is on probation or parole that has been transferred to this state for that offense or his or her probation or parole is transferred to this state after October 1, 1995 for that offense.

- Anyone who is required to register or otherwise be identified as a sex or child offender or predator under a comparable statute from another state.

What are the registry responsibilities of sex offenders?
- They must report any change of address within three (3) days of changing or vacating a residence.
- They must verify their address.
- They must report employment and discontinuation of employment.
- They must report vehicle information for vehicles owned by or operated by the offender and discontinuation of ownership or use.
- They must provide all telephone numbers.
- They must provide copies of passport and/or immigration documents.
- They must report occupational licensing information.
- They must report any name changes.
- They must report email addresses and screen names.
- They must report enrollment at an institution of higher learning or discontinuation of enrollment.
- They must pay a one-time $50 fee.
- They must maintain a valid Michigan driver's license or personal identification card.
- They must sign all required registration forms.
- They must not reside, work or loiter in a student safety zone.

How long must offenders remain registered as sex offenders?
- Tier 1 offenders must register for 15 years.
- Tier 2 offenders must register for 25 years.
- Tier 3 offenders must register for life.

How often must offenders verify their address?
- Tier 1 offenders must report in-person to a law enforcement agency not earlier than January 1st, and no later than January 15th of each year.

- Tier 2 offenders must report in person to a law enforcement agency not earlier than the 1st, and no later than the 15th of January, and July of each year.

- Tier 3 offenders must report in person to a law enforcement agency not earlier than the 1st, and no later than the 15th of January, April, July, and October of each year.

What is the difference between the Sex Offender Registry (SOR) and the Public Sex Offender Registry (PSOR)?

- The SOR is the database that contains the sex offender registration records (both public and non-public offender information) that is available only for law enforcement purposes.

- The PSOR is the internet site that displays the public offender information contained in the SOR database for the public to view.

Are there juveniles on the PSOR?

No. Juvenile offenders do not appear on the Public Sex Offender Registry.

What happens when an offender moves to another state?

Offenders who move to another state are required to report to their local law enforcement 3 days prior to moving to provide their new address. The MSP Sex Offender Registration Unit then notifies the other state of the offender's reported new address.  Offenders who move to another country are required to report to their local law enforcement 21 days prior to moving to provide their new address.

After leaving the state, offenders will no longer appear on the PSOR website and are no longer required to register in Michigan unless they relocate back to Michigan.

Once in the new state, they must comply with the registry requirements of that state.

How can I remove my name from the Public Sex Offender Registry?

Sex offenders should contact the court in which they were convicted to determine if they are eligible to petition for removal.
