    Just so we're clear: if your legal duty is to appear in person to register every six months, that won't change absent some sort of waiver. Even if you think flying back is "nuts." If your legal duty is to appear in person, and you fail to do so even because you've moved abroad, you will still be committing a felony.



    What you do is you continue to comply with your legal duties in America. Your duties to America don't end because you've moved abroad.

    BTW, I'm dying to know what country you're talking about. Is it too much to ask that you share it?

    I dont wish to share it for our protection. But thanks for your help, I will seek a lawyer to see what can be arranged.

    At the 10 year mark I can petition for my removal under the jacob wetterling act, as my state does not recognize the adam walsh act. So I think I do have a lot of other options

    Could you help me out? I'm seeing that both Alabama and Florida use the Adam Walsh act....are you in a state other than the two you listed?

    Alabama does not use the Adam Walsh act, they do not have a 3 tier system



    Also everyone should read this, thats on this post. This is what New York has to say about moving to another country

    Source : http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/n...sibilities.htm question # 8

    "Yes, you can move to another state or country but you must notify the local police department of the new state or country that you are moving into the area. That state or country will determine whether you need to register as a sex offender there.

    Registration requirements do not end when you move to another state and you must notify DCJS of your new address. You will not be removed from the New York State Sex Offender Registry."


    This doesn't mean its the same in every state, but this is very clear that yes you can move to another country and its up to that country to determine if you need to register , so its possible you could go to a country with a registry and not even be required to register by that countries standards.

    If its this way for New York , it s probably the same for all the other states. But will research more

    Thumbs up Re: Sex Offender Moving Abroad

    Follow up

    I received a call from The Alabama Department of Public Safety's Legal team.

    They have no special rules regarding a sex offender moving overseas.

    She Advised if you move overseas, its the same as you would move from state to state

    And that you have to notify of your new address, and register as an offender in the new country, if they have a registry.

    I asked for this in writing, she advised that they have no laws or rules against it, and its not in writing , and that is is 100% legal

    Also Alabama is still not Following the Adam Walsh Act, and also she advised its up to the country you go to, to determine if your background would have broken any of their laws

    Thats all! once you tell them you move to another country and give the address, thats it! No more checking back in

    If you need to verify this you can contact the Alabama Dept of Public Safety
