Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

Within this Section

Protecting Addresses for Victims

The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is a free mail forwarding service. It helps survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, bias crimes or bias incidents shield their physical address.

Program participants are provided with a substitute address to use instead of their real address. Participants may use the substitute address for:

  • the delivery of first class, certified and registered mail.
  • obtaining an Oregon driver’s license or ID card.
  • receiving or paying child support.
  • applying for a marriage license.
  • enrolling dependents in public school.

Participation in the ACP by itself does not guarantee anyone’s safety. ACP staff do not provide threat-assessment or safety-planning and are not allowed to offer legal advice.
