Violent and Sex Offender Register - Information Held On ViSOR

Information Held On ViSOR

Upon initial registration, offenders must provide the police with the following information:

• Full name
• Home address
• Telephone numbers - landline and mobile
• Date of birth
• National Insurance number
• Name and address of employment
• Vehicle details (if the offender has a vehicle): make, model, colour and registration number of vehicle(s)

Offenders must inform the police within 3 days if there are any changes in their name, address or vehicle details.

Offenders must also inform the police at least 7 days in advance if they intend to leave the United Kingdom for a period of 3 days or more, and they must register any addresses in the UK at which they stay for more than a total of 7 days within any 365-day period.

Offenders must confirm their registration annually. That is, if they have not needed to inform the police of any changes above, they must attend a designated police station to register if they have not done so for a year. Failure to comply is an offence, subject to a penalty five years imprisonment.

On August 13th 2012, an amendment to the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, came into effect where a subject of the Sexual Offenders Register is now required to provide the police with details of all bank accounts, credit cards, passport details and any foreign travel regardless of its duration.
