Page County Sheriff's Office Registration

Any person convicted of a qualifying sex offense who moves to Page County, takes a job here, or enrolls in school here must register in person at the sheriff's office within three days.

Staff can also assist residents who have questions about how to use the online registry or how to sign up for email notifications when an offender registers or moves in their area.

Virginia Law and the Three-Tier Registry

Virginia's sex offender registry law is found in Virginia Code Title 9.1, Chapter 9. That section of state law establishes the registry, sets registration requirements, and defines the three-tier system used to classify offenders in Page County and across all of Virginia.

Tier I offenders register annually for 15 years. Tier II offenders register annually for 25 years. Tier III offenders register every 90 days for the rest of their lives. The tier assigned to each offender is based on the offense at the time of conviction. Once assigned, the tier does not change unless the law is amended. There is no petition process to remove a Tier III designation.

All offenders are required to report address changes within three days. Changes to online accounts, email addresses, and usernames must be reported within 30 minutes. These are not suggestions. Missing either deadline is a criminal offense. Tier I and II noncompliance is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Tier III noncompliance is a Class 6 felony under Virginia Code Title 9.1. Tier III offenders are additionally barred from living, working, or loitering within 500 feet of schools, daycare centers, or similar child-focused locations anywhere in Virginia.

Registry Use and Public Safety

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services at dcjs.virginia.gov has more information about the registry program and community safety resources available to local agencies.

Note: Registry information is for public safety purposes only. Using it to harass or intimidate an offender is prohibited under Virginia law and can result in criminal charges.

How to Read Registry Results

When you search the Virginia State Police registry, each result shows a set of standard fields. You will see the offender's full name and any aliases. The current address appears below the name. If the offender's photo is on file, it shows on the left side of the result. The conviction offense is listed, along with the date of conviction and the locality where the case was heard. The tier level appears near the top of each entry. Tier I is the lowest risk, Tier III the highest. All of this information comes directly from state police records and is updated each business day.
