Online reporting of in-state travel has been enabled in FDLE CCS
Reporting of in-state travel, by offenders only, has been enabled in the FDLE Cyber Communication System (CCS). Thank you to our member who made us aware of the change.
“Online address reporting on this page may only be done in accordance with the decision by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Case No. 4:21cv85-RH-MJF.
This reporting may ONLY be used for an in-state permanent or temporary address change that is NOT:
– A change of your home,
– A change of the place where you habitually live, or
– A change of address of the kind that all holders of driver licenses or identification cards must report to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV)
A permanent or temporary in-state address change that IS a change of your home, a change of the place that you habitually live, or change of address of the kind that all holders of driver licenses or identification cards must report to DHSMV, must be reported within 48 hours of the change IN PERSON TO DHSMV in accordance with s. 943.0435(4)(a).
If you are leaving or traveling out of Florida, you must register IN PERSON WITH THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE in accordance with s. 943.0435(7).
Address changes cannot be made online if you do not maintain an active Florida address. Address changes cannot be made online to any transient or out of state addresses.
You cannot have more than one entry at a time for the same address, even if they are different dates. Entering a duplicate address will automatically close the previously entered duplicate address.
Because you only have one active Florida address, you cannot modify it. You can add new in-state travel by clicking the Add Travel button.”
I’m still confused about out-of-state travel. If I fly from Orlando to Atlanta and stay 5 days but in different hotels, what needs to be registered at my home county registration office?
I’m not a lawyer, but from previous guidance I’ve received it’s nothing. Unless you stay in the same place 3 or more days you don’t have to report it.
That’s the same guidance I received from my local sheriff’s department, after they confirmed it with FDLE.
This federal decision related to address reporting does NOT apply to sexual predators. Sexual predators may NOT use CCS to register such in-state travel. Sexual predators must register these changes in accordance with s. 775.21(6)(g)1.
An in-state permanent or temporary residence that IS a change of a sexual offender’s home, a change of the place where a sexual offender habitually lives, or a change of address of the kind that all holders of driver licenses or identification cards are required to report to DHSMV, must be reported within 48 hours of the change IN PERSON TO DHSMV in accordance with s. 943.0435(4)(a).

How can they select now who laws apply to? Sex Offenders/ Sex Predstor they pic and choose even between all registered citizens? Isnt that a law suit too?
The court order only applies to persons required to register as “sexual offenders” because the plaintiff in the case was such a person and therefore only had standing to challenge the provision in the Florida statutes that applies to “sexual offenders” and not “sexual predators.” No court has yet ruled on whether the in-state residence reporting requirements that apply to “sexual predators” are constitutional. The court in this case was not picking and choosing; it simply did not have jurisdiction to strike down the similar provision that applies to “sexual predators.”
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
