VISOR (Victim Information System in ORegon)

Starting Oct. 30, 2023, the State of Oregon will move victim-notification services from VINE to a new service, VISOR.

What is VISOR?

VISOR is a free, computer-based service that will allow you to check on an offender’s custody status either in a county or state facility, and to register to receive automatic notification when an individual in custody (IIC) is released or transferred.

How do I use VISOR?

• Register online at: VISOR (oregon.gov)
• Email VISOR: visor@doc.oregon.gov
• Leave a voicemail for VISOR: 888-749-8080

On the VISOR website, use the search bar to find an individual in custody (IIC) using basic information such as the name or offender number to search for the IIC you want to register for

VISOR will then give you the IIC’s custody information, and invite you to register for free notification by phone call, email, or text if the IIC's status changes

How do I register with VISOR?

You will need to provide:

1. A telephone number or email
2. Search for the IIC you want to register for
3. Choose a preferred notification delivery method

You may create an account in VISOR if you wish. Creating an account will allow you to choose how and when you receive notifications, it will allow you view recent notifications that were sent to you, allow you to change your personal information, and allow you to unregister.

You also have the option to remain anonymous when registering instead of creating an account.

Important VISOR Facts

• VISOR will send you a notification when the IIC you registered for is released, transferred, escapes, or is deceased.
• All registrations and personal information with VISOR are, and will remain, confidential.
• You may register more than one phone number or email.

NOTE:  Do not depend on the VISOR service as your only protection.  If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.

I signed up for VINE. Do I need to re-register at VISOR?

No action is needed by current VINE registrants. Registrations in VINE will carry over into VISOR. VINE registrants will keep receiving notifications as usual.
