Tier 1 offenders must verify their address annually, during the first 15 days of January.
Tier 2 offenders must verify their address semi-annually, during the first 15 days of January and July.
Tier 3 offenders must verify their address quarterly, during the first 15 days of January, April, July and October.
Failure to do so carries a penalty of up to two years behind bars.
