Address Confidentiality Program

A state-administered program that lets qualifying individuals use a substitute address for government records and mail.

Full definition

An Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) lets qualifying individuals, typically survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, trafficking, and in some states sexually exploited persons, reproductive-health providers, judges, and law enforcement, use a substitute address administered by the state. Mail is forwarded to the actual address confidentially. All 50 states have some form of ACP. Eligibility and coverage vary; ACP addresses are kept confidential in court records, motor-vehicle records, voter registration, and other government databases.
