Sex Offender Registration Removal in Washington

Like virtually all states, Washington State requires any person who has been convicted of a sex offense or kidnapping offense to register as a sex offender.

By “registration,” this means you have to register you address, place of employment, or school with local law enforcement.

The registration requirements are complicated, and the criminal penalties for violating these requirements are severe.  

However, you may be able to remove your duty to register as a sex offender in Washington depending on your criminal record and your behavior since you were convicted. 

The laws surrounding the sex offender registration and removal process are found in RCW 9A.44.130.
