Here is information on New York's petition for relief or modification:

You are unlikely to succeed in this request under any circumstances without the assistance of counsel.

You mention that you have no violation or issues... but do you have "clear and convincing evidence that his or her risk of repeat offense and threat to public safety is such that registration or verification is no longer necessary "

A clean probation record does not suffice to establish that. That's the bare minimum conduct of probation.

the victim was 14 at time i was 22. it was class e felony. ive held fulltime job for 8 years now..own a home..car..am a positive contributing member to society and my current probation officer has said numerous times he does not see me posing any threat to anyone or of reoffending again in the future. i also have a letter from taking a sex offender class where therapist says my chances of reoffending are highly unlikely and doubtful.

Considering that the victim was a child ..I highly doubt that you will be getting off the registry before your 20 is up.

i wanted to know if there was any clear writing on if a level 1 can get early termination off the registry or not? no one seems to be able to give a clear yes or no answer to this being possible

I'm sorry, but our crystal ball was spirited away by a roving band of free-lance fortune tellers just last week. Perhaps an attorney in your area would be able to answer your question...

You didn't even tell us what level you were.

That said, the law seems strangely silent level 1 people. So no, I couldn't find any "clear writing" on it.

i would presume that somewhere in the law books it would tell if and or when someone could petition to be taken off the registry if it were in fact possible.

That would be a great thing for a local attorney to research for you.
