Chapter 1. Address Confidentiality Program
§101. Summary of Program
A. The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) provides relocated victims of
abuse, sexual assault, or stalking with a substitute address to use in place of their actual
address when they apply for or receive state or local government services (e.g., driver's
license, voter registration, public school records, etc.). The goal of the program is to
prevent an assailant or potential assailant from finding the location of a victim through
the state's public records. The program is not a witness protection program and does not
assist participants in obtaining new names, Social Security numbers, or in relocating them
to a new residence. The ACP does not provide legal advice to the participant.
B. The ACP acts as the agent of an ACP participant for purposes of service of
process and forwards all first-class, certified, or registered mail to the participant.
C. The ACP works with state and local government agencies to ensure compliance
of ACP legislation and to facilitate the use of the substitute address.
