Address Confidentiality Program
The Office of the Attorney General administers the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP). This program was established by the Florida Legislature in recognition that persons attempting to escape from actual or threatened domestic violence frequently establish new addresses in order to prevent their assailants or probable assailants from finding them. The purpose of the statute is to enable state and local agencies to respond to requests for public records without disclosing the location of a victim of domestic violence. All ACP participants over the age of 18 and eligible to register to vote may vote as Protected Records Voters. As a Protected Records Voter they can participate in national, state, and local elections without endangering the confidentiality of their location. For further information, please refer to the Address Confidentiality Program procedures .
