@Mike
If you don&#039;t believe you&#039;ll ever be in Florida again, an option would be to change your name. This would nullify the now irrelevant FDLE indexed page from haunting you.

I&#039;ve seen the laws of some states where registrants are not allowed to change their names, but it&#039;s on the rare side. If you do change your name or start going by something else (alias), just be sure to update your registration.

Not everyone is open to changing their name, and nobody blames them. But, just wanted to point out that it could be an immediate solution for some who have long left Florida and hope to never return.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello I had very similar sentence as you I had a withheld of adjutification in Florida back in 2003, did 3 years of sex offender probation the probation office said I could be off after a year since I completed the counseling in under a year as it was determined I didn&#039;t have a sex problem just a lack of morals as I was meeting random girls and hooking up with them and I wasn&#039;t checking IDs or anything but the state said no I did the full 3 years sadly.

Anyways to answer your question I moved to Washington state King county back in 2015. I am a level 1 here which means the following:


I don&#039;t appear on the Washington state register
The police come once a year normally in spring to register me, the knock on my door and I sign a piece of paper and were done.


That is it which is really nice. I feel a much better freedom here than I ever did in Florida. The rules are pretty simple to follow unless you move but they seem to be pretty understanding here for the most part.  I can have facebook or any social media website I choose, I don&#039;t have to report anything aside from my home. I don&#039;t have to go to the police station for anything unless I&#039;m moving somewhere. The police I have delt with don&#039;t treat me poorly and are respectful.

The downside is that you will NEVER be removed from Florida&#039;s registry. I guess you might be able challenge it after 25 years which I&#039;m only at the 15 year mark so not close to try to ask to be off. Washington state may let you off their registry at the 15 year mark I plan on talking to the king county sex offender lawyers about this soon but the they stated it was possible when I asked about it before but I don&#039;t know how much it will cost.]]></description>

Try searching out-of-staters on The Florida registry to answer that question.  I recall in those cases that Florida publishes peoples’ city, state, and zip, but relegates their specific addresses to the police registry only.]]></description>

I continue to make donations to the Out Of State Challenge on a semi-regular basis and have not given up on that challenge at all.

Florida can be a nice place to raise a family, but even Floridians would appreciate options!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[http://ccresourcecenter.org/state-restoration-profiles/50-state-comparison-relief-from-sex-offender-registration-obligations/

To the initial member post - I have contacted a few states (3-4 attorney&#039;s per state)


Missouri: If you were charged in Florida, you have to be removed off of Florida&#039;s registry first. Apparently a dead end here.
Alabama: Youthful Offender&#039;s have a chance. It depends on who the residing judge is in that circuit. Some are more reasonable than others. Move to Alabama and petition the courts for removal. It might be worth a shot.
New York - auto removed after 10 years. So if your timeline is correct, that is only a few years away.


It&#039;s a work in progress. At least this gives you options. Not being registered in the state you live in is a lot easier.]]></description>
