More address checks for sex offenders

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming requires more frequent address checks for people convicted under W.S. 6-2-314 or 6-2-315. This requirement applies to convictions on or after that date. They must report their address in person to their county sheriff every three months after initial release or starting parole. The state division verifies their registered address. Photos are updated annually and when appearance changes substantially. Sheriffs must send photos and confirmation of the address check to the division within three working days. People without a settled home satisfy the address-check requirement by reporting to the sheriff under the existing reporting rule.
