A new program has been activated in Georgia designed to help anyone whose safety may be at risk if their home address is readily available to the public.
The Georgia Safe at Home Program is an address confidentiality program that helps survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, stalking, or other eligible individuals whose safety may be compromised by public disclosure of their residential address.
It is being administered by the Secretary of State’s office.
“My office is committed to helping provide survivors with the tools they need to begin to rebuild their lives free of fear,” Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger said.
“While just one tool in the overall toolbox, I am proud to help Georgians move forward with the peace of mind they deserve, because I believe everyone should feel safe in their own home.”
The program provides three main services:
Address substitution: Participants use a designated address on all public records in lieu of their own. Their address is masked on all state and local public records.
Mail forwarding: The Secretary of State’s Office forwards First-Class Mail to the participant’s confidential address.
Voter Registration: Participants confidential address is sealed on voter rolls. Participants are eligible to vote in-person or by absentee ballot.
