Registry of Sex Offenders

North Carolina Sex Offender Registry

The North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry was established in January 1996 due to the General Assembly's enactment of Article 27A of Chapter 14 of the North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS 14-208.5). This law requires a person who is a resident of North Carolina and who has a reportable conviction to maintain registration with the sheriff of the county where the person resides. If the person moves to North Carolina from outside this State, the person shall register within 10 days of establishing residence in this State, or whenever the person has been present in the State for 15 days, whichever comes first.

The information contained in the registry and individual record has been provided by the registrant and/or entities other than the State Bureau of Investigation, Division of Criminal Information.

Accuracy of the Data

Offenders may have moved and failed to notify the registering sheriff's office of that change. Information is updated by the SBI as received by the registering sheriff and the SBI cannot guarantee the accuracy day to day. If you have reasonable proof that any of the information contained in these records is inaccurate, please contact the county sheriff's office of the county where offender resides.
