Address Confidentiality Program

National Stalking Awareness Month, January, is over, but stalking behavior does not end with a flip of the calendar.  In light of this, we wanted to inform you about a program that Pennsylvania offers for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. 


Through the Office of the Victim Advocate,  Pennsylvania offers victims the opportunity to participate in the Address Confidentiality Program.  This program enables victims to use a P.O. Box  in Harrisburg for their address on a government issued ID, school records, and other legal documents.  This allows victims to keep their physical address confidential and provides a forwarding service.


To qualify for this program, a victim must be moving to a location that her abuser does not know.  They also must be willing to designate the program as a representative for mail, including signing for certified mail.  Mail will take an additional 5-7 business days to get to the recipient, however, keeping your address confidential can be the keystone to a successful safety plan.


Contact Transitions if you are interested in participating in this program.
