A 810 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires sex offenders to report Internet identifiers and name changes.

This New Jersey bill (A 810) requires individuals convicted of sex offenses to report name changes to the state sex offender registry. Specifically, it amends name change procedures so that courts must notify the sex offender registry when someone with a sex offense conviction (as defined in NJ law) applies for a new name. The bill mandates that applicants disclose any sex offense conviction in their affidavit, and courts must forward the name change judgment to both the State Bureau of Identification and the sex offender registry. This affects only people convicted of sex offenses who seek to legally change their names, ensuring registry updates occur automatically.
