There are two categories of sex offenders in the Commonwealth of Virginia:

1) "VIOLENT SEX OFFENDER"
2) "SEX OFFENDER"

As provided by law, registrations available through the Internet are for individuals convicted of a VIOLENT sex offense(s) ONLY. For a complete listing of sex offenses which require registration in the "Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry" click on the appropriate link to follow Individuals or entities entitled by statute to obtain sex offender registry searches in the Sex Offender category shall utilize Criminal History Record and/or Sex Offender Registry Name Search Request form SP-230 or the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Name Search Request form SP-266. These forms may be viewed, downloaded and/or printed by clicking on the PDF button(s) that follow.

The data contained in sex offender registrations may be primarily based upon information furnished by a convicted sex offender and not substantiated by source criminal record documents such as: criminal arrest fingerprint-based charge(s), court disposition(s) or a sentencing commitment court order(s) to the Department of Corrections. Accordingly, the Virginia Department of State Police cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in the registrations. Additionally, offenders may have changed their address of residence and failed to notify the state or local police department within ten (10) days so their sex offender registration may not be in a current status as statutorily mandated.

Sex offender registration and re-registrations are entered into the Registry immediately upon receipt.

The Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry (SOR) for VIOLENT SEX OFFENDERS is available via Internet pursuant to Section 19.2-390.1 , (D), of the Code of Virginia. Registry information provided under this section shall be used for the purposes of the administration of criminal justice, screening of current or prospective employees, volunteers or otherwise for the protection of the public in general and children in particular. Unlawful use of the information for purposes of intimidating or harassing another is prohibited and willful violation shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor.
