State Police everyafter not more than
30 days from the date of conviction. Reregistration means the person has
notified the State Police, confirmed his current physical and mailing address
and provided such other information, including identifying information, which
the State Police may require. Upon registration and as may be necessary
thereafter, the State Police shall provide the person with an address
verification form to be used for reregistration. The form shall state the registration
