The Vermont Department of Public Safety maintains the Sex Offender Registry. Generally, offenders who have been convicted of sexual offenses, as defined by law, on or after July 1, 1996 or released on or after that date, in Vermont or any other state, are required to register.

If you have been the victim of sexual violence and your offender has been convicted and sentenced for the crime, you have the right to be notified by the Vermont Sex Offender Registry in writing of the offender’s current address. This notification is to be made promptly, both when the offender initially registers with the Vermont Sex Offender

Registry and anytime the offender changes his/her address.

To be notified of the offender’s location, you must complete a Victim Notification Form and return it to the Vermont Sex Offender Registry. To receive a notification form, contact the Sex Offender Registry Coordinator or visit the Department of Public Safety’s website.

The Department of Public Safety plans to post information about certain classes of sex offenders on its website, including current photographs of offenders, the type of crime for which he/she was convicted, where he/she currently resides and the contact information for his/her supervising correctional officer. After registering with a user name and password, anyone 18 years of age or older will have access to this website.
