Sex Offender Registration Laws in Louisiana

Louisiana sex offender registration is governed by RS 15:540 and the statutes that follow through RS 15:549. These laws set out who must register, how often they check in, what information they provide, and how long registration lasts. Anyone convicted of a qualifying offense in Louisiana must register, as must anyone who moves to Louisiana with a sex offense conviction from another state or jurisdiction.

Louisiana divides offenders into three tiers. Tier I offenders, those convicted of the least severe qualifying offenses, register for 15 years and check in once a year. Tier II offenders register for 25 years and check in every 6 months. Tier III offenders, those convicted of the most serious crimes including offenses against children, must register for life and check in every 90 days. The court sets the tier at sentencing based on the offense and the offender's prior record.

Under RS 15:542, offenders must report address changes, new jobs, school enrollment, new vehicles, phone numbers, and online accounts within 3 business days of each change. Failure to do so is a felony in Louisiana. The public can access Jefferson Davis Parish registry data under RS 15:541 and the state's public records laws. Using that data to harass or threaten any registrant may result in criminal or civil liability.
