Sex Offender Registration Requirements
Alaska Statutes 12.63.010 - 100, and the Alaska Administrative Code 13 AAC 09.010 - 900, require the registration of sex offenders and child kidnappers who are physically present in the state. The duty of a sex offender or child kidnapper to comply with requirements as AS 12.63.010 for each sex offense or child kidnapping continues:
(1)for the lifetime of a sex offender or child kidnapper convicted of:
(A)one aggravated offense; or
(B)two or more sex offenses, two or more child kidnappings, or one sex offense and one child kidnapping
(2)for 15 years following the offender's unconditional discharge from a conviction for: - a single offense that is not an aggravated offense; or
- a single child kidnapping
if the offender has provided proof that is acceptable to the department of unconditional discharge.
Registration is tolled (extended) for each year that an offender (i) fails to comply with sex offender requirements, (ii) is incarcerated for any offense, or (iii) is absent from this state and did not register in another state.
Registration is also extended until the offender submits proof acceptable to the department of the date of the offender's unconditional discharge from the probation or parole for the offense requiring registration.
It is the responsibility of the offender to supply proof acceptable to the department of unconditional discharge and the date it occurred.
Proof of Unconditional Discharge
DO NOT COMPLETE THIS FORM IF THE OFFENDER WAS CONVICTED OF ONE AGGRAVATED OFFENSE OR TWO OR MORE TOTAL OFFENSES. THE OFFENDER MUST REGISTER QUARTERLY FOR LIFE.
Unconditional Discharge means that the requirements of the sentence, including probation and parole, have been met.
The department will, after verification for accuracy and completeness, consider an offender to have submitted satisfactory proof of unconditional discharge upon receipt of:
(1)a department form that includes the name, mailing address, and phone number of a court or correctional officer who who may be contacted by the department to confirm the offender's assertion of the unconditional discharge date; and
(2)a copy of a court judgment, court order, certificate of unconditional discharge, letter, or other document signed by an employee of a court or correctional agency showing, for the offense for which the offender is required to register,
(A)the unconditional discharge date
(B)the full statute or ordinance citation and descriptive title;
(C)the court case number, and
