The Registration Calendar
ORS 163A.010 and ORS 163A.040 — in person within 10 days of a move, a name change or a birthday
10 days. A person who must report after release from a correctional facility in Oregon reports in person to the Department of State Police, a city police department or a county sheriff's office within 10 days after release, within 10 days of a change of residence, within 10 days of a legal change of name, and once each year within 10 days of the person's birth date, whether or not the person has moved.
Work and school. The same 10 days run from the first day the person works at, carries on a vocation at or attends an institution of higher education, and from any change in that status.
21 days before travel abroad. A report is also due at least 21 days before any intended travel outside the United States.
Where. The first report is made in the county of release; later reports are made in the county of the person's last reported residence. Reporting a move in person within 10 days in the county of the new residence is an affirmative defense to a charge of failing to report the move, if the person otherwise complied.

Who must report in the first place, for how long, and how relief from reporting is obtained are set out in sections not on this page, as are the duties of people placed on probation, moving into the state or adjudicated in juvenile court. Whether a deadline applies to a particular person is a question for a licensed Oregon attorney.
