Level 1 is low risk with annual check-ins for 15 years. Level 2 is moderate risk requiring semi-annual check-ins for 25 years. Level 3 is high risk and means registration every 90 days for life. Habitual offenders with two or more sex crime convictions also face lifetime registration at the 90-day rate. Aggravated offenders convicted of the most serious sex crimes register for life as well. The DOC mails non-forwardable verification forms to each offender's address in Roger Mills County. If the form is not returned in person within 10 days, the sheriff's office investigates.
