RICHMOND, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Attorney General Jason Miyares is encouraging survivors of domestic violence, stalking, sexual violence, human trafficking, and child abduction to apply for the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) offered by the Office of the Attorney General’s Victim Services Unit, as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The ACP provides survivors with a legal substitute address, ensuring their actual physical location remains hidden from public records and inaccessible to their abusers.

The program allows participants to use a confidential mailing address for all first-class mail, legal matters, and government interactions. The Attorney General’s office forwards the mail securely to the participant’s actual address, protecting their whereabouts. This service is available to both adults and minors under the care of an enrolled parent or guardian.

“Every survivor in Virginia should know that they are not alone,” said Attorney General Miyares. “Resources like the Address Confidentiality Program are available to provide safety and peace of mind, empowering survivors to focus on healing without living in fear.”

For more information about the ACP, visit the Office of the Attorney General’s website or contact domestic.violence@oag.state.va.us.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please contact the Virginia Statewide Hotline for Domestic and Sexual Violence at 1-800-838-8238 for confidential support and referrals. In case of immediate danger, call 911.
