Domestic Travel 2025

Has anybody been to Utah? I just got offered a freelance gig out there that’ll span 4 days, so probably need a total of 6 days max in the state before returning to California.

I see on both links listed above that Utah requires registration “if present for 10 days or more in a 12 month calendar year” so theoretically I’m fine for being there for 6 days and not registering right? Has anybody tried that?

misdemeanor, tier 1, possession, not on probation or parole.

For Atwo Zee: Hi AZ — I am trying to gain clarity on Washington State where you added the following update: “A person who is NO LONGER required to register in their conviction state reports moving to WA in 2024 with WA’s written agreement they are NOT required to register there.”

While one reading of this seems to imply that those off the registry could move to WA without having to register all over again, I am trying to understand whether this written agreement was policy or a one-off? One guy got in writing that he did not have to register upon going there. But was this a letter he had to obtain only through negotiating with the State to get it? Or does the letter imply that it is WA policy that someone not on the registry does not have to re-register there upon moving to WA?

I have family in WA and am off the CA registry with 1203.4 misdemeanor expungement. So I am assessing whether WA might be a possibility to move to after CA. Do you happen to know this guy or anything else about his case? Do you think each person would have to get a lawyer and negotiate with WA to get a letter like his? Or can we assume what applies to him would apply to us?

Thanks so much.

Hello. Considering travel to New Mexico.
Kindly poke on my assumptions below:

From A2Zs blog and reading the NM statutes, it is my understanding that I have 4 “business” days without triggering registration. I am assuming WEs are not counted. 

So if I fly-in Thursday night and leave Monday afternoon I am still “safe” because I will only be there 3 business days (Thu-Fri & Mon). Or is after hours already considered non-business day?

Also when flying, for the sake of “registration times” – when are you technically in the destination state? Once you cross the state border or when you land?

TIA

I am wondering if I understand Colorado’s time requirements for registration for visitors. I would like to vacation in CO for 9 days Friday to the following Saturday. As I understand the law, I would not be considered a temporary resident because I would be there less than 14 days. However it appears I would have to register within 5 business days of arriving in CO, even though I would not become a resident. So I would need to leave before the 5th business day to not trigger a registration requirement.

I am no longer required to register in my home state of IL.

I’m asking for a friend who lives in Utah and doesn’t understand if something is actually a requirement. He just went to the local PD to update his registration and during conversation they told him that if he travels out of state for more than 3 days he has to notify his registration office. I looked online for a while and I couldn’t find anything stating that. Does anyone know if this is an actual requirement written in the law? Can the local PD where you register just create a new requirement and if so, is that binding or just something they want but can’t enforce? He is in SLC somewhere but I don’t know which PD he registers at. Thanks for any clarification
