The information in the county registry will be verified annually for each registrant:

# Every year on the anniversary of a person's registration date, the DCI will mail a non-forwardable verification form to the last reported address of the person. The anniversary date will be the initial registration date, once a year for sex offenders and every 90 days for sexual predators.

# The person must return the verification form to the sheriff within ten days after the receipt of the form.

# The verification form must be signed by the person and indicate whether the person still resides at the address last reported to the sheriff. If a person has a different address, then the person must indicate that fact and the new address.

# If the person fails to return the verification form to the sheriff within ten days after the receipt of the form, the person is subject to criminal penalties.

# If the verification form is returned to the sheriff as undeliverable, the sheriff will make a reasonable attempt to verify that the person is residing at the registered address. If the person cannot be found at the registered address and has failed to report a change of address, the person is also subject to criminal penalties unless the person reports in person to the sheriff and proves that the person has not changed his/her address.
