State of Mississippi Sex Offender Registry. Welcome to the Mississippi Sex Offender Registry website. This requirement applies to various situations, including, but not limited to: non-compliant registrants, new registrants, temporary out-of-state registrants, and incarcerated releases. Registration forms issued by the sheriff's office are valid for three business days. Prior to departing the country, offenders must complete an International Travel Form at least 21 days before their departure date.
The form should include their passport details, itinerary, and the address of their residence outside the country. There is no grace period between the date an offender becomes non-compliant and the day they must appear for registration. Offenders may register up to 10 days in advance.
Electronic monitoring forms are valid for one year only. If an offender's form has expired, an updated form must be provided during the registration process. There is no requirement to pay fines on the account before registering. Fines are only necessary to resolve a license suspension. Individuals included within the registry are included solely by virtue of their conviction record and state law. Persons who have been arrested or charged with a registrable sex offense or a child- victim oriented offense are not required to register unless the arrest or charge results in a conviction.
This information is being made available on the Internet to facilitate public access to information about persons who have committed sex offenses to enable you to take appropriate precautions to protect yourself and those in your care from possible harm. MDPS has not assessed any specific risk of re-offense with regard to any individual prior to his or her inclusion within this registry, and has made no determination that any individual included in the registry is currently dangerous.
The reason for providing this information is to make it more easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual. MDPS updates this information regularly, to try to assure that it is complete and accurate. However, this information can change quickly. You are cautioned that information provided on this site may not reflect the current residence, employment, school attendance, status, or other information regarding an offender.
