Grand County Sex Offender Checks
The Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry/Notification website is the main public channel for a Grand County sex offender lookup. Utah Department of Public Safety maintains it under Title 53, Chapter 29. The Grand County registry view is a special public-notice source for people with a current statutory duty. It is not a complete index of every sex-related charge, every conviction, or every person who once had a duty to register.
Begin with the official state registry and narrow the place to Grand County, Moab, Castle Valley, a ZIP code, or an address. Use a name when the goal is to check a known person. Geographic and name searches answer different questions. If the search concerns an underlying criminal case, compare the listing with the public court docket. The Grand County Court Case Lookup explains how a filed charge and final disposition appear in Utah Courts Xchange.
Grand County Registry Map Search
A Grand County map search is useful when the reader wants area awareness rather than a single named profile. Enter a Grand County address or locality, review the map and list modes, and open each result before drawing a conclusion. Pins can be close together. Street names can repeat. The Grand County profile, not the pin alone, supplies the identity, status, qualifying offense information, and public location detail.
Utah law defines the public search functions and the limits on use. The current registry website and use statute shows that legal frame.
The captured statute page is a useful check on what the state may publish and why readers must treat map results as public notice, not as permission to confront anyone.
Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry/Notification Website Searches
The Utah registry is free and dynamic. Its Grand County search controls may shift as the state or its vendor updates the interface, but the official research confirms the search modes below. Use just enough detail to get a workable Grand County result set, then compare profile facts. A blank field is not proof that the fact does not exist. Law enforcement collects more data than the public page reveals.
- Open the official registry and read its conditions and safety notice.
- Choose a name or geographic route, then enter Grand County, Moab, Castle Valley, a ZIP code, or an address as needed.
- Review both list and map results. Compare the public photo and physical details before matching a person.
- Open the full profile and note the status, jurisdiction, offense, and location details. Confirm unclear facts with the listed registering agency.
| Field or Control | Type | Required | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Searches a registrant name; exact or fuzzy behavior was not stated in the retrieved official text. |
| Address | Geocoded text | No | Builds map or proximity results around a place. |
| City | Text or dropdown | No | Enter Moab or Castle Valley for a local search. |
| ZIP | Text | No | Narrows the geographic result set. |
| County | Dropdown | No | Select Grand for a countywide view. |
| Map or list | View control | No | Switches between geographic and result-list views. |
| Email notifications | Signup link | No | Confirm availability and current vendor behavior on the live interface. |
For a Grand County name search, start broad and add place filters only when the list is too large. For an area search, compare map results with their full Grand County registry profiles before deciding that two entries refer to the same person.
Grand County Registrant Reporting Routes
The Grand County reporting location depends on supervision and local jurisdiction. A person on probation or parole reports in person to Utah Department of Corrections Adult Probation and Parole. Region 6 serves Grand and San Juan Counties from Moab. A person who is not under that supervision reports to the police department or sheriff with Grand County jurisdiction, as directed by Utah Code §53-29-304.
Inside Moab, call the Moab Police Department at 435-259-8938 to confirm an appointment and place. Outside Moab, contact the Grand County Sheriff's Office at 435-259-8115. The sheriff's public counter is at 25 S. 100 E., Moab, UT 84532, with regular administrative hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These calls are for routing and confirmation, not a substitute for the public registry.
The current registrant reporting statute sets out in-person duties and specified changes.
This source also shows why a local office must confirm the correct reporting route instead of applying one rule to every Grand County registrant.
Note: The research did not confirm a current local registration fee, so verify any amount with the responsible office before payment.
Registry Profiles: What They Show
A public Grand County registry profile joins identification, location, registration, and offense fields. Read all Grand County profile fields as a set. A photograph or physical description can help separate similar names, while status and registration jurisdiction show which agency maintains the entry. Exact public detail depends on current law and interface settings. Some information held by law enforcement is not placed online.
| Name and Aliases | Public identity name and any aliases the registry is authorized to display. |
|---|---|
| Photo and Description | Photograph plus permitted sex, race, height, weight, hair, eye, age, or birth details. |
| Location | Primary or secondary address information at the public statutory level, with a map when available. |
| Registration Facts | Category, status, registration jurisdiction, and compliance information that the public interface publishes. |
| Offense Facts | Qualifying offense or statute, conviction jurisdiction and date, and sentence or release detail where published. |
| Distinguishing Facts | Public scars, marks, tattoos, vehicles, or institution information when authorized and available. |
A profile does not state all facts in the underlying case. Xchange or the court clerk may provide the complaint, plea, judgment, and disposition if the case remains public. Missing fields should not be treated as evidence about a person's risk or conduct.
Grand County Registry Search Gaps
An empty Grand County result does not mean no relevant record exists. A person may be outside Utah, not yet entered, removed after a lawful process, covered by a nonpublic rule, or not required to register under the current statute. A Grand County search can also fail because of spelling, a prior name, an incomplete location, or a move that has not yet appeared in the public view.
Try a broader Grand County place search, remove optional fields, check name variants, and use the map and list views. Then consult the national search when another state may be involved. If a known public listing seems wrong, contact the registering agency named on the profile. Do not fill a gap with assumptions. Registry absence is not a substitute for reviewing a public court record, and registry presence does not prove a new offense.
Registration Levels and Duties in Utah
Utah's registry in Grand County should not be reduced to a simple public Tier I, II, or III chart. Current statutes assign qualifying offenses to a standard period or lifetime duty, with separate rules for some juvenile, out-of-state, repeat, and special cases. Start dates, credit, interruptions, review, removal, and public visibility can depend on the offense and the person's circumstances.
The Legislature reorganized the framework during 2025 and 2026 into Title 53, Chapter 29. The current Utah registration provisions should control any close question.
The captured law page helps readers avoid relying on former Title 77 provisions that have been superseded by the current statutory structure.
| Category | Duration | Practical Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Standard registration offenses | Generally 10 years under the statutory calculation | Start dates, credit, and interruptions matter; confirm §53-29-203. |
| Lifetime offenses or repeat qualifying circumstances | Life | Use the current offense lists in Title 53, Chapter 29. |
| Juvenile, out-of-state, and special cases | Statute-specific | Removal and public visibility can differ; do not assign a generic tier. |
Grand County Cross-State Registry Search
The U.S. Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website, or NSOPW, searches participating state, territorial, and tribal registries. It is a useful second layer when someone may have moved, when a place is near a state line, or when a name search in Utah returns nothing. NSOPW federates source records. It does not replace the state or tribal profile that supplied a result.
The official NSOPW search interface provides a broader geographic route for Grand County awareness.
After opening an NSOPW result, follow it to the originating jurisdiction, read that jurisdiction's cautions, and verify location or status there.
Using Registry Information Lawfully
Grand County registry data supports community awareness and practical safety planning. It may help a Grand County family understand public locations, recognize a listed person, or choose what facts to confirm with law enforcement. It does not authorize contact, punishment, surveillance, or claims beyond what the public profile says. A listing reflects a legal registration duty, not a finding that the person has committed a new act.
Misuse is prohibited: Utah Code §53-29-404 warns that using registry information to harass, stalk, threaten, or harm a registrant or the person's family is prohibited and may violate criminal law.
Read profile dates and status before acting on the information. Contact the listed agency when a field conflicts with another official source. Call 911 only when there is an immediate emergency. For all other concerns, use the local reporting channels described below.
Grand County Registry Noncompliance Reports
Suspected noncompliance belongs with the agency responsible for registration. In Moab, call Moab Police at 435-259-8938. Elsewhere in Grand County, call the Grand County Sheriff at 435-259-8115. The official Grand County government directory can confirm current county contacts. Give the agency the public profile, the fact that appears inconsistent, and a clear source for the concern. Avoid public accusations, direct contact, or attempts to investigate a home.
When the issue involves a person supervised by Adult Probation and Parole, the local agency can route the information to the proper UDC channel. When it concerns a possible error in a public court outcome, the Seventh District or Grand County Justice Court clerk is the source for the docket and disposition. Each office owns a different record. Keeping the question with the right custodian protects accuracy and lets trained staff assess what the law requires.
