NYSDOS Highlights Address Confidentiality Program

Apr 29, 2026

THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF STATE’S (NYSDOS) ADDRESS CONFIDENTIALITY PROGRAM HAS SERVED MORE THAN 10,000 PARTICIPANTS SINCE ITS 2012 LAUNCH

The New York Department of State’s Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) today announced the enrollment of its 10,000th participant. The ACP is a safety tool supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, human trafficking, and/or kidnapping who are in fear for their safety by providing a legal substitute address and free confidential mail forwarding services to shield their real address from public records. It is a somber milestone, but thanks to the ACP, New Yorkers experiencing violence can create a new life for themselves and their families.

About the Address Confidentiality Program

The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) provides a legal substitute address for participants to use in place of their residential, work, or school address. The ACP partners with state and local institutions that provide victim services to educate stakeholders about how the ACP works, and how they can help eligible individuals apply by becoming an Application Assistance Provider. The Address Confidentiality Program is one tool that victims and survivors can use in their overall safety plan. Individuals experiencing gender-based violence who are in need of safety planning can contact the free and confidential New York State Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline to locate resources and support near them. The Hotline can be reached by calling 1-800-942-6906, texting 844-997-2121, or chatting online at: https://opdv.ny.gov/. Anyone interested in learning more or applying to the Address Confidentiality Program, or any local organizations interested in training and partnering with the ACP, can visit our DOS website at https://dos.ny.gov/ACP or contact us by e-mail at: acp@dos.ny.gov.
