If you are a survivor of domestic violence or a victim of stalking... If you are living in fear as a provider, employee, volunteer or patient of a reproductive health care clinic... the Secretary of State's SAFE AT HOME program can help keep your assailant from finding you.

SAFE AT HOME will give you an official, substitute address to use in place of your real home address.
All first class mail, legal documents and certified mail will come to our offices here in Sacramento. We will forward them to you and keep your real address absolutely confidential. Mail is forwarded within 48 hours.
For most participants, this is a no-cost mail forwarding service. Doctors and other health care professionals pay just a small service fee for this unique service.
You can sign up with an enrolling agency, such as domestic violence shelters or reproductive health care facilities. An enrolling agency will work with you on the evidence of abuse or threats required for enrollment. Many local police, therapists and even schools can refer you to an enrolling agency.
For most participants, this is a no-cost mail forwarding service. Doctors and other health care professionals pay just a small service fee for this unique service.
SAFE AT HOME has helped thousands escape the threat of violence at home. It can help you too.

Have you experienced harassment or threats while working at or visiting a reproductive health care clinic or hospital? If so, and you are living in fear for your safety, you and your family are now eligible to enroll in SAFE AT HOME. This program is open to reproductive service provider employees [doctors, nurses, therapists, support staff, etc.], volunteers and patients of women's reproductive health care facilities.
There is no application or annual cost for patients who enroll in this program. Doctors and other health care professionals are charged a small application and annual fee for this unique service.
Program participants can have their voter registration information kept entirely confidential from campaigns, pollsters and the media by completing a confidential voter registration affidavit at the time of enrollment for the first time or re-registering at the Registrar of Voters/County Clerks offices. Once registered, SAFE AT HOME participants automatically receive “absent voter status” so they can vote by mail. Absent voter privileges are revoked once the participant’s four-year term expires or is cancelled.
