Sex Offender Registry Removal
Being convicted of a sexual offense carries stigma and shame that can last a lifetime. Even a simple open gross lewdness conviction requires a person to register as a sex
offender. Luckily for some, Nevada allows early termination from the state registry if you meet certain requirements.
Required Registration Periods 179D.490
Nevada breaks down sexual offenses into several tiers.
- Tier I must register for 15 years
- Tier II must register for 25 years
- Tier III must register for life
Early Termination NRS 179D.490
If you comply with the registration and are either a tier I, or tier III juvenile offender, you may be able to reduce the registration period.
Tier I Reduction
In order to reduce the registration period from 15 years to 10 years one must meet the following requirements:
- Comply with registration for 10 years;
- Not be convicted of a new felony;
- Not be convicted of a new sexual offense;
- Successfully complete supervised release, parole or probation;
- Successfully complete a sex offender treatment program certified by the State or the A.G. of the United State.
Furthermore, if you have successfully registered in another state’s jurisdiction as a tier 1 offender you may count the years you registered in that state as a tier 1 towards the Nevada 10 year minimum. For example, if you registered in California as a tier 1 offender for 5 years and moved to Nevada and registered for 5 years in Nevada, you may Petition to be removed in Nevada.
Tier III Reduction
If a juvenile was convicted as a tier III offender, he or she may reduce the life registration if the above criteria are met and he or she has registered for at least 25 years.
