Shoshone County Sex Offender Checks
The Idaho State Police manages the public Idaho Sex Offender Registry. Use its name, city, county, ZIP, or map interfaces for Shoshone County. The Sheriff's Department is the local registration and verification contact. It can address a concern about local registration facts, but the state portal is the public search channel.
Begin with the tool that fits the question. A known name calls for the name search. A county-wide review calls for the Shoshone County filter. A location-based safety plan may benefit from the map and subscription tools. Search both the adult and juvenile databases separately because the interface permits only one database at a time.

Shoshone County Registry Map Radii
The geographic interface accepts a street address and city, keeps the state fixed as Idaho, and offers one-, three-, or five-mile radii. Those choices answer different questions. A one-mile view is tight. Five miles gives broader context in the Silver Valley, where nearby communities and roads can cross city lines.
A pin shows general proximity, not a guaranteed physical point. Some homeless registrants and out-of-state residents who work in Idaho may be excluded from map results. When a map seems incomplete, repeat the check by name, Shoshone County, city, and ZIP. Do not treat a blank map as proof that no registrant is associated with the area.
Map limit: Use the registry profile and verifying agency, not a map icon alone, to understand a listed record.
Idaho Sex Offender Registry Searches
The Idaho Sex Offender Registry provides several official entry points. The name form requires a last name, while first name, city, and county are optional. It also asks the user to choose the adult or juvenile database. Results appear 15 per page. City, county, and ZIP forms provide place-based alternatives.
- Open the official Idaho registry and choose the name, city, county, ZIP, or map search.
- Select Adult or Juvenile, then enter the required field and any useful Shoshone County filter.
- Review the result list and compare aliases, dates, physical details, and location before selecting a profile.
- Read the full offense, status, verification, address, and agency fields, then contact the shown sheriff about an apparent error.
| Search route | Required field | Options | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Last name | First name, city, county, Adult or Juvenile | Known person |
| City | City | Adult or Juvenile | One municipality |
| County | County | Choose Shoshone; Adult or Juvenile | County-wide results |
| ZIP | ZIP | Adult or Juvenile | Postal-area review |
| Map | Street address and city | One, three, or five miles | General proximity |
| Subscribe | Address and email | One-, three-, or five-mile radius | Move-in and move-out notices |

Shoshone County Registry Name Limits
A name, birth date, or other alphanumeric match is not conclusive. Similar names and data-entry differences can point at the wrong person. Only fingerprints establish identity. Compare the full profile rather than selecting a person from the results list based on one matching field.
| Name search | Fingerprint verification |
|---|---|
| Finds similar text and listed identifiers | Uses biometric identity |
| Useful for public awareness | Used by the responsible agencies for positive identity |
| Can be affected by aliases and shared names | Distinguishes people more reliably |
If a Shoshone County profile appears to contain an error, use the verifying sheriff named on the profile. Do not publish an accusation or contact the listed household. The office that verifies the registration is positioned to review source data and route a correction.
Registry Profiles: What They Show
A public registry profile combines identity, location, offense, and compliance fields defined by Idaho law. It is not a complete court file or a general criminal-history report. A conviction date and registerable offense explain why the entry exists, while status and the last verification date show the registration record's current administrative facts.
Read the offense jurisdiction as well as the Idaho registration category. A conviction from another place may still create a duty to register in Idaho. Vehicle, employer, and school information appears only when applicable, so the absence of one such field should not be treated as a statement that the person has none. The last verification date is more useful when paired with current compliance status and the name of the verifying agency.
| Name and aliases | Full listed name and alternate names associated with registration. |
|---|---|
| Photo and description | Photo, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, eyes, hair, and listed marks or tattoos. |
| Address | Public address, city, county, ZIP, and sometimes a secondary address. |
| Registration status | Compliance status, last verification, and the agency responsible for verification. |
| Offense information | Registerable offense, conviction jurisdiction and date, statute, and related descriptors. |
| Other public details | Employer or school when applicable and listed vehicle data. |
Social Security numbers, driver's-license numbers, telephone numbers, online identifiers, and added law-enforcement-only information are not public profile fields.
Shoshone County Registry Address Alerts
The subscription tool sends notices when a registrant moves into or out of a chosen radius around an Idaho address. It asks for street address, city, ZIP, email entered twice, and a one-, three-, or five-mile radius. This differs from a one-time map. The map answers what the portal shows now; a subscription watches later address changes within the selected area.
Use an address where the alert is relevant to personal or family safety. Email delivery should be treated as a prompt to open the official profile, not as a complete statement about identity or risk. A move notice can reflect a registration update. It does not replace the profile's offense, verification, and agency fields.
Note: Repeat a place search through county, city, and ZIP controls when a mapped Shoshone County result seems incomplete.
Registration Levels and Duties in Idaho
Idaho does not publish federal-style Tier I, II, and III labels. State law instead distinguishes ordinary registrants, aggravated offenders, recidivists, and violent sexual predators. Registration is lifetime by default. An eligible ordinary registrant may have a petition route after ten years measured from the later of release or placement on supervision, but the statutory conditions control.
The ten-year mark does not remove a person automatically. An eligible ordinary registrant must petition District Court and meet the conditions in Idaho Code section 18-8310, including the absence of a later disqualifying offense. Aggravated offenders, recidivists, and violent sexual predators cannot use that ordinary route. A public search may therefore continue to show a record after ten years unless a court has granted relief that applies to it.
| Idaho category | Duration or petition rule | Verification and public consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary registrant | Lifetime by default; qualifying ten-year petition may be possible | Generally annual verification |
| Aggravated offender | Ordinary ten-year route unavailable | Category remains publicly identified as required |
| Recidivist | Ordinary ten-year route unavailable | Based on two or more registerable convictions |
| Violent sexual predator | Lifetime | More frequent verification and enhanced community rules |
Changes to an address, name, employment, student status, or vehicle information must be reported under Idaho Code sections 18-8307 and 18-8308. A table category should not be translated into a federal tier, because Idaho's public scheme uses different terms.
Shoshone County Registry's 500-Foot Rule
Idaho Code section 18-8329 generally restricts a registrant from living within 500 feet of school or daycare property. Statutory exceptions and grandfathering can apply. The law also sets related presence and loitering limits. A map circle is not a legal measurement and does not establish a violation.
Questions about a listed Shoshone County address should go to the verifying agency shown on the profile. SCSO serves as the local registration contact at 717 Bank Street in Wallace, (208) 556-1114. The county does not publish registry-desk hours or a document checklist, so call for an appointment and current requirements before visiting.

Shoshone County National Registry Search
ISP remains the primary source for an Idaho entry. The National Sex Offender Public Website, maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice, adds a cross-state layer across participating jurisdictions. It is useful when a search crosses Idaho's border or a person's prior location is unclear. Return to the ISP record and the verifying sheriff for Idaho-specific status or correction questions.

The national tool broadens geographic coverage without replacing the Shoshone County verification chain.
Using Registry Information Lawfully
The Idaho registry supports public protection, neighborhood awareness, and family safety planning. It does not authorize threats, contact, intimidation, or vigilantism. Verify uncertain facts with ISP or the profile's sheriff. Idaho Code section 74-120 also bars commercial-purpose use and the compilation of registry information into telephone or mailing lists.
Community awareness works best when the information stays tied to official facts. Note the profile's update date, verify the address through the registry, and choose practical safety steps that do not target a person or family. If conduct creates an immediate safety concern, use the appropriate law-enforcement channel rather than trying to enforce registration law personally. For a data concern, contact SCSO or ISP and describe the specific field that appears wrong.
Misuse can be prosecuted: Criminal acts based on registry information can lead to prosecution under Idaho Code sections 18-8326 and 18-8413, as well as civil liability.
Keep the response tied to lawful safety steps. Review the official entry, check the date and agency, use address alerts if helpful, and report an apparent record error to the verifying sheriff. Do not confront a listed person or household.
