Keep your home address private
The Nevada Confidential Address Program (CAP), run by the Division of Child and Family Services, gives participants a fictitious mailing address. It accepts first-class, registered, certified, and election mail and forwards it to their real address at no cost.1
- It is for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, or stalking. Applicants need specific evidence that they have been a victim.1
- You can't apply directly. You must meet in person with a CAP Certified Advocate. Advocates work at agencies and nonprofits across the state that help victims.1
- Using the fictitious address with state and local agencies helps keep a victim's real address out of their records.1
Help for victims of crime
The Nevada Victims of Crime Program helps eligible victims of crime and their families recover from the financial impact of violent crime, by paying certain costs. The program decides who qualifies.2
