As a sexual predator (Florida Statute 775.21) or sexual offender (F.S. 943.0435; 944.607; or 985.4815) I understand that I am required by law to abide by the following:

"Internet identifier" means any designation, moniker, screen name, username, or other name used for self-identification to send or receive social Internet communication (see s. 775.21(2)(m), F.S. for definition of “social Internet communication”). Internet identifier does not include a date of birth, social security number, personal identification number (PIN), or password. A sexual offender's or sexual predator's use of an Internet identifier that discloses his or her date of birth, social security number, PIN, password, or other information that would reveal the identity of the sexual offender or sexual predator waives the disclosure exemption in this paragraph for such personal information.

"Permanent residence" means a place where I abide, lodge, or reside for 3 or more consecutive days that is my home or other place where I primarily live. For the purpose of calculating a permanent residence under this paragraph, the first day that I abide, lodge, or reside at a place is excluded and each subsequent day is counted. A day includes any part of a calendar day.

"Professional license" means the document of authorization or certification issued to me by an agency of this state for a regulatory purpose, or by any similar agency in another jurisdiction for a regulatory purpose, for me to engage in an occupation or carry out a trade or business.

"Temporary residence" means a place where I abide, lodge, or reside, including, but not limited to, vacation, business, or personal travel destinations in or out of this state, for 3 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year that is not my permanent or transient residence. If my permanent residence is not in this state, the term also includes a place where I am employed, practice a vocation, or am enrolled as a student for any period of time in this state. For the purpose of calculating a temporary residence under this paragraph, the first day that I abide, lodge, or reside at a place is excluded and each subsequent day is counted. A day includes any part of a calendar day. The term also includes an "in-state travel residence," which means a temporary residence that I establish in Florida when I already have an existing permanent, temporary, or transient residence in Florida.

"Transient residence" means a county where I live, remain, or am located for the purpose of abiding, lodging, or residing for 3 or more days in the aggregate during a calendar year that is not my permanent or temporary residence. The term includes, but is not limited to, a place where I sleep or seek shelter and a location that has no specific street address. For the purpose of calculating a transient residence under this paragraph, the first day that I live, remain, or am located in a county for the purpose of abiding, lodging, or residing is excluded and each subsequent day is counted. A day includes any part of a calendar day.

"Vehicles owned" means any motor vehicle as defined in s. 320.01, which is registered, co-registered, leased, titled, or rented by me; a rented vehicle that I am authorized to drive; or a vehicle for which I am insured as a driver. The term also includes any motor vehicle as defined in s. 320.01, which is registered, co-registered, leased, titled, or rented by a person or persons residing at my permanent residence for 5 or more consecutive days.

  1. 1. Within 48 hours of establishing or maintaining a residence in this state, or release from custody and/or supervision of the Department of Corrections (DOC), the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), or the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), I MUST report in person to the local sheriff's office for initial registration to register my temporary, transient, or permanent address and other information specified in statute. If I am convicted of an offense that requires registration and am not under custody and/or supervision of DOC I must report in person to the sheriff’s office in the county of conviction within 48 hours of the conviction. {F.S. 943.0435(2)(a); 775.21(6)(e)}
    FAILURE TO REPORT AS REQUIRED IS A THIRD DEGREE FELONY.

  2. 2. At registration, I MUST provide the following information to the department: name; date of birth; social security number; race; sex; height; weight; tattoos or other identifying marks; hair and eye color; photograph; all home telephone numbers and cellular telephone numbers; all electronic mail addresses, Internet identifiers, and each Internet identifier’s corresponding website homepage or application software name; address of all permanent or legal residences; address of any current temporary residences, within this state or out of state, including a rural route address and a post office box; any transient residence within this state; address, location, description and dates of any current or known future temporary residence within this state or out of state; employment information, including occupation, business name, employment address, and telephone number; make, model, color, vehicle identification number (VIN), and license tag number of all vehicles owned; date and place of each conviction; fingerprints; palm prints; and a brief description of the crime or crimes committed. I may not provide a post office box in lieu of a physical residential address. I must also produce my passport (if I have one). If I am an alien, I must produce or provide information about documents establishing my immigration status. I must also provide information about all professional licenses I have. If my place of residence is a motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, or manufactured home, as those terms are defined in chapter 320, I must also provide the vehicle identification number (VIN); the license tag number; the registration number; and a description, including color scheme, of the motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, or manufactured home. If my place of residence is a vessel, live-aboard vessel, or houseboat, as those terms are defined in chapter 327, I must also provide the hull identification number; the manufacturer's serial number; the name of the vessel, live-aboard vessel, or houseboat; the registration number of the vessel, live-aboard vessel, or houseboat; and a description, including color scheme, of the vessel, live-aboard vessel, or houseboat. {F.S. 943.0435(2)(b); 775.21(6)(a)1.}
    FAILURE TO REPORT THIS INFORMATION IS A THIRD DEGREE FELONY.

  3. 3. Within 48 hours after the initial registration of information as required in #2 above, I MUST report in person to the driver license office of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and provide proof of initial registration as a sexual offender or predator to secure or renew a valid Florida driver license or identification card displaying one of the following designations: “SEXUAL PREDATOR” or “943.0435, F.S." unless a driver license or identification card with such designation was previously secured or updated. I must submit to the taking of a photograph for use by the department in maintaining current records of sexual offenders/predators. {F.S. 943.0435(3); 775.21(6)(f)}
    FAILURE TO MAINTAIN, ACQUIRE, OR RENEW A DRIVER LICENSE OR ID CARD AS REQUIRED IS A THIRD DEGREE FELONY.

OR, if I am on supervision with the Florida DOC or DJJ, this information MUST be reported to my probation officer before using such electronic mail addresses or Internet identifiers. If I report an Internet identifier, I must also report its corresponding website homepage or application software name. {F.S. 943.0435(4)(e)1.; 775.21(6)(g)5.a.}

  5. 5. Each time my driver license or identification card is subject to renewal, or within 48 hours after any change in my permanent, temporary, or transient residence or change in name made by marriage or other legal process, I MUST report in person to a driver license office to update my driver license or identification card and ensure that the driver license or identification card displays the designations as identified in #3 above. If I am unable to secure or update a driver license or identification card with DHSMV, I must report any change of my residence or name within 48 hours after the change in person to the sheriff's office in the county where I reside or am located. This does not apply to an in-state travel residence. If establishing an in-state travel residence, I MUST report within 48 hours after establishing the residence. I shall report using the Cyber Communication System maintained by FDLE or in person at the sheriff's office. OR, if I am on supervision with the Florida DOC or DJJ, this information MUST be reported in person to my probation officer. These reporting requirements do NOT negate the requirement for me to obtain a Florida driver license or identification card as required by this section. {F.S. 943.0435(4)(a); 775.21(6)(g)1.}
