Experience in California





Under California Penal Code Section 290.005, if you have been convicted in any other court, including any state, federal, or military court, of any offense that, if committed or attempted in this state, would have been punishable as one or more of the offenses described in Section 290, you must also register as a sex offender in California.
A person required to register as a sex offender in another state due to an out-of-state conviction for a sex offense similar to one of the following offenses may not be required to register in California unless the out-of-state sex offense contains all of the elements of a registerable California offense in Section 290:
This means that sex offender registration is only required when the crime you were convicted of in another jurisdiction (other than California) corresponds in every aspect with one of the offenses listed above.
