Petition to Deregister

Depending on your conviction, you may be eligible to petition for de-registration. The time requirements listed below are in effect only after one has successfully completed and been discharged from the court, parole, and/or probation.

  1. For class 1, 2, and 3 felonies, 20 years must pass before the Petition can be filed
  2. For class 4, 5, and 6 felonies, 10 years must pass before the Petition can be filed
  3. For class 1 misdemeanors, 10 years must pass before the Petition can be filed
  4. For all other classes of misdemeanors, 5 years must pass before the petition can be filed
  5. A deferred judgment or sentence agreements after the sentence is completed successfully
  6. Juvenile Adjudications after the sentence is completed successfully
Sex Offender Registry

Under no circumstances can you legally discontinue the re-registration process without the consent of the court. You cannot automatically stop registering just because the time requirement has passed or because you have been released from parole or probation. To remain in compliance with the law you must have your petition granted by a judge. If you fail to get this order from a judge, then you will be prosecuted for Failure to Register.

A petition can only be filed once you completed all of the requirements successfully and the appropriate amount of time has passed. Until a petition has been granted, you are legally bound to continue to register as a sex offender every year on your birth date.

Probation for Future Charges

In the event that you are criminally convicted of any future charges, no matter what the crime (even if it is not sex-related such as theft or DUI), Colorado law requires all previous sex offenders to complete sex-based probation for the new charge.
