Q: What is the Sex Offender Registry?
A: People who are convicted of, adjudicated or committed for a violation, solicitation, conspiracy or attempt to commit a violation of any registerable offense on or after 12/25/1993 must register. This also includes people who have been in prison, on probation or parole or in a mental or county correctional institution since 12/25/93 for a registerable offense.
Additionally, the following sex offenders are required to register in Wisconsin if they live, work or attend school in Wisconsin:
- any sex offender who is required to register with another state/jurisdiction
- any sex offender convicted in a military, tribal, or federal court
- any sex offender who has been convicted in another state of an offense comparable to one of Wisconsin's registerable offenses
- any juvenile who is on supervision and enters Wisconsin under the Interstate Compact Agreement
Please consult WI Statute 301.45 for a detailed description of the specific circumstances that require registration. You can access specific statutes from this Web site.
