When is a NSOR Missing Information Notification sent?

A Missing Information Notification regarding the National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR) is sent when no Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) number or unique control number (UCN) is available after a period of 30 days. This timeline is critical as it ensures that the registry maintains accurate and up-to-date information about sex offenders. The absence of these identifiers can hinder the ability to track offenders effectively, so this notification serves as a crucial communication tool to alert agencies that an important piece of information is missing.

Timely updates to offender records, re-arrests, or purging records relate to ongoing management and corrections within the registry, but do not pertain to the specific situation that necessitates a Missing Information Notification. The primary focus of the notification is to address the lack of necessary identifying information within a defined timeframe, thereby fortifying the integrity of the sex offender monitoring system.
