The rules in Alaska

Alaska sex offender laws & risk levels

Offense-based registration. Alaska registrants are required to register for 15 years or life depending on the offense (aggravated offenses and repeat convictions mean lifetime). The Department of Public Safety publishes registrants on the public site without a risk-level system.

No statewide residency restriction. Alaska law does not restrict where a registered sex offender may live. Location rules, where they exist, come from supervision conditions for offenders on probation or parole.

Registration & verification. Registrants must keep their address, employment, and schooling current with the registry, and verify in person on a recurring schedule — more frequently for higher-risk or higher-tier registrants. Failure to register or verify is itself a crime and commonly appears as a listed offense on registry records.

Common questions

Alaska sex offender registry FAQ

How many registered sex offenders live in Alaska?

As of July 2026, there are 3,559 registered sex offenders in Alaska — about 48.5 for every 10,000 residents, 102% above the national average. Counts change as offenders register, move, or are removed from the registry.

Which city in Alaska has the most sex offenders?

Anchorage has the most registered sex offenders in Alaska with 1,531. Raw counts track population, so the fairer comparison is per capita: adjusted for population, Wasilla has the highest rate among major cities at 228.5 per 10,000 residents, while Sitka has the lowest at 31.9.

How do I find sex offenders near my address in Alaska?

Use the free Predator Map app to search any Alaska address and see registered offenders around it on a map, with photos and offense details from official registry records. You can also search the official Alaska Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry website directly.

Why is this number different from the official Alaska registry website?

Public registry websites only show what the state chooses to publish. Alaska publishes its registry, but aggregated records can include entries that a name-by-name search misses. Statistics on this page are compiled from aggregated official registry records, so they can differ from — and often exceed — what a manual search of the public site returns.

Does Alaska restrict where sex offenders can live?

No statewide residency restriction. Alaska law does not restrict where a registered sex offender may live. Location rules, where they exist, come from supervision conditions for offenders on probation or parole. Address-level monitoring matters more than assumptions about "safe" neighborhoods.

How current is this data?

Statistics on this page are compiled from official state registry records and refreshed monthly. This page was last updated in July 2026. Always verify individual records with the official state registry.

Can I get alerts when a sex offender moves near me in Alaska?

Yes. Predator Map Pro monitors up to 5 addresses daily and sends push and email alerts when a registered offender moves in nearby, a new offender registers, or someone moves away.

Is it legal to look up sex offenders near me?

Yes. Registry information is public record under federal and state law (Megan's Law), and anyone may search it to protect themselves and their family. What the law prohibits is using registry information to harass, threaten, or commit a crime against a registrant — misuse can be prosecuted.

Methodology: Statistics are compiled from aggregated official state registry records and refreshed monthly. City figures count the city listed on each registry record. Per-capita rates use 2020 U.S. Census populations. Aggregated counts can exceed what public registry websites display because some classification levels are excluded from public searches. Figures are estimates and change daily as registries update — always verify individual records with the official state registry.
