I am registering as a sex offender. How can I stop?

If you have been registering as a sex offender in California and want to stop your registration requirement, you have options:

1)    Seek a Certificate of Rehabilitation. In some instances, a mere granting of a Certificate of Rehabilitation will stop your obligation from registration as a sex offender.
2)    Seek a Governor’s Pardon. While our previous Governor granted 7 in his term, Governor Brown is far more compassionate and has granted over 450 pardons when he was last Governor. The time couldn’t be better!
3)    File for Hofsheier relief. The law has changed regarding certain sex crimes. Previously, certain sex crimes required mandatory registration. Now, certain sex crimes are discretionary sex registration. Thus, if you previously were ordered to register, your registration can stop by filing a Hofsheier motion.
4)    Overturn the conviction itself. If your plea of guilty to the underlying charge (or the verdict of guilty by trial) was an error, we may be able to set aside the conviction and thus stop 290 sex registration.
