Registration Requirements in Montgomery County

Offenders must come in during their birth month and every three months after that. Missing a check-in is a felony.

Each visit costs $10. The sheriff collects this fee and uses it to fund the registry program. Offenders who cannot pay may ask for a waiver by showing proof of low income. At each visit, the sheriff checks the offender's address, job, and vehicle info. They take a new photo and update fingerprints if needed.

Offenders who move into Montgomery County have three days to register. This applies to people moving from other Alabama counties or from out of state. As the state capital, Montgomery sees many new residents each year. They must also notify the sheriff within three days if they change jobs or get a new car. These deadlines come from Code of Alabama Section 15-20A-22.
