Duration and Cancellation of Registrations

(1) A VNR registration shall remain active for the natural life of the registered individual or offender, unless cancelled by an authenticated user, by the DCJIS, or by the registered individual. (2) A VNR registration may be cancelled by an authenticated user agency, or by the DCJIS, in the following circumstances: (a) the death of the registered individual; (b) the death of the offender; (c) a finding of registration misuse; (d) a finding that a registered individual has made explicit threats or articulated plans to harm an offender upon release from custody; (e) a finding that the purpose of the registration no longer exists; and (f) invalid contact information. (3) A registered individual may also voluntarily cancel a registration by contacting the DCJIS, the appropriate authenticated user, or a District Attorney's victim/witness advocate office. If, after voluntarily cancelling a registration, an individual would like to re-register, the individual must submit a new application.
