Sexual offenders will remain on the registry for life and shall receive a verification form each year on the anniversary of their initial registration.


Sexual predators are required to verify their information every 180 days and remain on the registry for life.

O.C.G.A. 42-1-12 (i)(3) states "the Georgia Bureau of Investigation or any sheriff maintaining records required under this code section shall release relevant information collected under this code section that is necessary to protect the public."
