An individual required by law to register with the Iowa Sex Offender Registry must report any change of address or telephone number within 5 days of the change for the entire registration period. When moving within the same county, the current county sheriff must be notified. When moving to a different county within the state of Iowa, the registrant must report a change of residence to both the sheriff of the county in which the residence has been established and to the sheriff of the county in which they were registered. Reporting a change of residence, name, or telephone number is also required when an individual moves out of the state of Iowa. Also, the individual must respond within 10 (ten) days of receipt of a verification of address form that is mailed to them by the Iowa Department of Public Safety. Failure to comply with the registration laws can result in additional criminal charges against the registrant.
