adjudication shall submit a sample of blood and other body fluids for inclusion in a
centralized database of DNA identification records under section 31-13-05. The

that individual last registered of the individual's new vehicle or computer online identity.
If an individual required to register pursuant to this section has a change in name,
school, or residence or employment address, that individual shall inform in writing, at
least ten days before the change, the law enforcement agency with which that
individual last registered of the individual's new name, school, residence address, or
employment address. A change in school or employment address includes the
termination of school or employment for which an individual required to register under
this section shall inform in writing within fivethree days of the termination the law
enforcement agency with which the individual last registered. The law enforcement
agency, within three days after receipt of the information, shall forward it to the
attorney general. The attorney general shall forward the appropriate registration data
to the law enforcement agency having local jurisdiction of the new place of residence,
school, or employment. Upon a change of address, the individual required to register
shall also register within three days at the law enforcement agency having local
jurisdiction of the new place of residence, school, or employment. The individual
registering under this section shall periodically confirm the information required under
this subsection in a manner and at an interval determined by the attorney general. A
law enforcement agency that has previously registered an offender may omit the
biometric data portion of the registration if that agency has a set of biometric data on
file for that individual and is personally familiar with and can visually identify the
offender. These provisions also apply in any other state that requires registration.
