What is the "Safe at Home Program"?

WARNING! People can tell what Internet sites you have visited on your computer.

A victim-survivor of domestic violence may apply for a Safe At Home program, which is run by the Secretary of State's office in California. The Safe At Home program will give you a substitute mailing address to use on official documents, including:

your court papers
your driver's license
your voter registration papers, and,
if you decide to get married while on the program, your address will remain confidential on those documents as well.

Any first-class or government mail sent to you at that address will be forwarded within
48 hours.

Any Service of Process delivered to the address also will be passed on to you.
If you follow the rules, you can use the address for up to 4 years.

For more information about enrolling in this no-cost mail forwarding service, call the program toll-free at 1-877-322-5227 or you can go to the California Secretary of State's website: click here.
