Sex Offender Registration Relief Eligibility Calculator

Disclaimers:

This Calculator is intended to help people figure out whether or not they are eligible to apply for registration relief pursuant to Oregon’s registration relief law. This Calculator is intended to provide general guidance only. This is not legal advice. Consult an attorney for legal advice.

This Calculator was not produced by the government. It is not an “official” calculator. It was created by a human being, Anna Sammons, a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer in Eugene, Oregon (e-mail: anna@sammons-criminal-law.com). Human beings are fallible. Accuracy is not guaranteed. Error reports and suggestions are welcome.

This Calculator provides NO GUIDANCE about attacking underlying convictions and/or sentences. In other words, it provides NO GUIDANCE regarding appeals, PCRS, habeas petitions, clemency petitions and/or SB 819 petitions.

This Calculator provides NO GUIDANCE regarding eligibility to apply for re-classification from one risk level to another.

A small number of people on Oregon’s sex offender registry (by my estimate, less than 1%) have been designated “Predatory Sex Offenders” by the Board of Parole pursuant to a long-repealed statute. In addition, a small number of people on the registry have been designated “Sexually Violent Dangerous Offenders” under ORS 137.765 when they were sentenced. Most, if not all, SVDOs have been placed on life-time supervision. This Calculator provides NO GUIDANCE to people who have received one of these designations. In the unlikely event that you fall in this category, you should consult an attorney.

1. Why are you on Oregon’s Sex Offender Registry?(Required)

3. After the date you were convicted of a sex crime or crimes (in other words, after the date a judge imposed sentence), have you been convicted of any other crimes?(Required)

No, I have not been convicted of any other crimes.

No, I have not yet been classified.

I have received more than one classification. (Check this option if you were classified multiple times in different states, if you were re-classified from one level to another, etc.)

6. Has it been at least five years since you have been out of custody (if you were ever in custody) AND has it been at least five years since you have been off of probation, parole, and/or other type of supervision?(Required)

Yes

No, but I can calculate the exact date.

No, I am on life-time probation.
