New to this? Start with what doxing is.

Keep your home address private

Safe at Home, run by the New Mexico Secretary of State, gives participants a substitute address to use with state and local agencies. It also provides a first-class mail forwarding service.1

  • State and local government agencies must accept the substitute address when you show your program card. Schools must accept it too.2
  • It is for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, or stalking who live in New Mexico and have recently moved, or plan to move, to a place their abuser or stalker does not know.2
  • You apply with an application assistant, who works or volunteers for a domestic violence or sexual assault program in New Mexico. The forms must be notarized.2

Go to Safe at Home (sos.nm.gov)

Help for victims of crime

The Crime Victims Reparation Commission gives financial help to victims of violent crime with certain costs caused by the crime. The commission decides who qualifies.3

Find a lawyer

This site does not give legal advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed New Mexico lawyer.

  • The State Bar of New Mexico does not list a general lawyer referral service. It has an online directory where you can search for a lawyer, and a Modest Means Helpline that gives legal advice by phone and sometimes refers people to volunteer lawyers.4
  • If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. The New Mexico courts point people to New Mexico Legal Aid, a statewide civil legal services group, and to LawHelpNewMexico.org for legal information.5 The State Bar also points to New Mexico Free Legal Answers, where volunteer lawyers give brief advice on civil questions at no cost.4
