Keep your home address private
New Jersey's Address Confidentiality Program, run by the Department of Children and Families, gives participants a legal substitute address. It also forwards their mail.1
- All state and local government agencies must accept the substitute address.1
- It is for victims and survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual violence, and for reproductive health patients and providers. Applicants must have experienced fear or threat of abuse and must move to a new location.1
- You enroll with help from victim service agencies and other approved groups.1
- The program cannot remove an address that is already public. It can help protect your new address.1
Help for victims of crime
The Attorney General's Victims of Crime Compensation Office helps eligible victims of crime with certain crime-related costs that other sources, such as insurance, do not pay. The office decides who qualifies.2
Find a lawyer
This site does not give legal advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed New Jersey lawyer.
- The New Jersey State Bar Association does not refer the public to lawyers itself. It points people to county bar associations, and many of them run lawyer referral services.3
- If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. The State Bar points people to Legal Services of New Jersey, the state's largest provider of free legal help.3
