  1. Mississippi Sex Offender Registry

    Mississippi Department of Public Safety

    NOT SCREENED YET The registry blocks automated access
    WHEN
    AT HIRE At hire
    BASIS
    Standard practice; § 43-11-13 disqualifying events include listed sex offenses

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • National fingerprint-based criminal background check before employment and every two years, screened for § 43-11-13 disqualifying events (24 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, R. 11.2(E)-(G))
  • Prior convictions under the Vulnerable Adults Act checked as part of the criminal background check (R. 11.2(E))
  • Designated drivers: valid driver's licence and current insurance (R. 11.2(D); Miss. Admin. Code tit. 23, pt. 208, R. 5.5(B))

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
