New Address, New Start: Enroll in the Address Confidentiality Program Today

Are you a victim or know somebody in a dangerous situation such as:

  • Domestic Violence

  • Stalking

  • Sexual Offenses

  • Human Trafficking

  • Kidnapping

  • Reproductive healthcare services (provider, patient, volunteer, or employee)

The New York Department of State hosts an Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) that Can Provide Peace of Mind with a Secure Address

The ACP is a FREE program that lets you shield your home address to help maintain your safety.

If you qualify, you’ll get a secure Albany post office box as your official mailing address.

The ACP forwards all first class and certified mail from your private PO Box to your home address. Our service is private, secure, and safe.

  2. Complete the ACP application and submit it electronically.

  3. An ACP representative will promptly process your application and contact you with a welcome email and a new confidential address.
