The rules in Oklahoma

Oklahoma sex offender laws & risk levels

Three numeric risk levels. Oklahoma assigns Level 1 (15-year registration), Level 2 (25-year), and Level 3 (lifetime) based on the offense. All levels appear on the DOC's public registry, with habitual and aggravated designations flagged.

2,000-foot rule. Oklahoma bars registrants from residing within 2,000 feet of schools, childcare centers, playgrounds, and parks — one of the larger statewide buffers — with extra rules for offenders whose victims were minors.

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

Oklahoma sex offender registry FAQ

How many registered sex offenders live in Oklahoma?

As of July 2026, there are 12,193 registered sex offenders in Oklahoma — about 30.8 for every 10,000 residents, 28% above the national average. Counts change as offenders register, move, or are removed from the registry.

Which city in Oklahoma has the most sex offenders?

Oklahoma City has the most registered sex offenders in Oklahoma with 1,777. Raw counts track population, so the fairer comparison is per capita: adjusted for population, Bartlesville has the highest rate among major cities at 30.6 per 10,000 residents, while Broken Arrow has the lowest at 9.3.

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

Use the free Predator Map app to search any Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry (DOC) website directly.

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

Public registry websites only show what the state chooses to publish. Oklahoma publishes all levels on the public site. 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 Oklahoma restrict where sex offenders can live?

2,000-foot rule. Oklahoma bars registrants from residing within 2,000 feet of schools, childcare centers, playgrounds, and parks — one of the larger statewide buffers — with extra rules for offenders whose victims were minors. Address-level monitoring matters more than assumptions about "safe" neighborhoods.

What do Oklahoma's levels mean?

Oklahoma assigns Level 1 (15-year registration), Level 2 (25-year), and Level 3 (lifetime) — higher levels reflect more serious offenses and verify more often. All levels are public. There are currently 1,121 registrants at the highest classification in Oklahoma.

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 Oklahoma?

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.
