Section XIX-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.
