Full question:
Regarding federal law for Sex Offender Registration, I entered into a plea agreement October 1988, was released from a Florida prison July 1990, and received a Certificate of Restoration of Civil Rights, issued by the Office of Executive Clemency in Tallahassee, Florida. I have never been told that I had to register at anytime or anywhere. Do I have to register as a sex offender?

Answer:
In Florida, if you have had your civil rights restored, you do not need to register as a convicted felon. However, you may still be required to register as a sexual predator if you have been classified as one. Under Florida law, a sexual predator must register for life unless they receive a full pardon or have their conviction set aside in a post-conviction proceeding for any offense that meets the criteria for the sexual predator designation.
In summary, if you have not been designated as a sexual predator, you are not required to register. If you have any doubts or need clarification, it may be beneficial to consult with a legal professional.
