Address Confidentiality Programs allow a victim to use a “dummy” mailing address as a way to prevent a stalker from harassing the victim through the mail or finding out their location. Generally the “dummy” address is located at the State Attorney General’s office or the office of the Secretary of State. The mail is then forwarded by the officials to the victim. These programs often work in conjunction with other data protection programs such as the ability to opt out of voters registration or drivers license records.
