REGISTRY REMOVAL: OVERVIEW

Being charged with certain crimes in the state of Georgia can result in yearly obligations to place yourself on certain registries, which restrict your rights as a citizen of this state.  Registration requirements can be burdensome, voluminous, and can often result in future criminal charges if not strictly complied with by the registered individual.

REMOVAL PROCESS

Under Georgia law, there are processes that have been created to allow individuals meeting specific criteria to seek removal from these registration requirements.

Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 42-1-12 (g), “[an] offender required to register . . . may petition to be released from the registration requirements and from the residency or employment restrictions . . . in accordance with the provisions of [O.C.G.A. § ] 42-1-19.”
