Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.
In July, a judge ruled that Mr Hinckley, now 61, was not a danger to himself or the public.
Mr Hinckley had already been spending 17 days a month at his mother`s home in Virginia under strict conditions.
Associated Press reported that he had arrived at her home having been freed on Saturday.
