CORONAVIRUS AND REGISTRATION
The purpose of this post is to serve as an advisory for those who are trying to comply with registration obligations during this period. On March 12, 2020, anticipating certain counties would close courthouses, jails and administrative offices where registration is performed, the Florida Action Committee contacted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to determine what procedures have been implemented to accommodate registration in counties where offices are closed.
While we wait for a reply, check the comments below to see if information about your county has been posted. If not, please call your county registration office to find out whether they are open, whether they anticipate closing, whether they are taking precautions to implement social distancing during this period and what accommodations have been made for registration should their office be closed or closing.
A list of all county registration offices, along with their telephone numbers are published here: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/Documents/REREGISTRATIONLOCATIONS.pdf
For any questions, call the FDLE at: 1-888-357-7332 or e-mail [email protected].

Not getting a receipt for my re-reg visit will really piss me off. I guess I’ll record the exchange with the “officer” on my cell phone for proof. Among other things, law enforcement is entirely too casual re: giving me proof that I’ve made registration changes, including those on the internet. I guess they don’t believe (or maybe don’t care) that databases get screwed up sometimes and new data get lost. On the rare occasion that I make a change on their website, I save a new screenshot of all the personal info that I’ve provided. How ridiculous.
Re: Orange County, FL – I just registered today. The only con: had to wait outside in the heat in a social distancing line of about 8 folks, but the line moved kind of quickly. The pros: the officer gave me a receipt for my visit like I usually get, and I didn’t even have to sign for it; it only required 3 minutes to get re-registered once I started. The officer did not want to see my license and only asked for my SSN to identify me. I hope things are going as smoothly for my fellow Registered Citizens.
