In recognition of the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, Secretary of State Tre Hargett encourages victims of domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking or any sexual offense to protect their address and protect themselves with the free Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program.
The Safe at Home program prevents abusers from locating their victims through public records by providing approved applicants a substitute address that may be used for legal purposes, including voter registration and government services such as a driver’s license and access to assistance programs. This substitute address can be used by anyone in the household, including children, elderly parents and new spouses.
The first step to enrolling in the Safe at Home program is to complete an application with a partnering agency in your community. For more information about the Safe at Home program, participant eligibility or becoming a partner agency, visit SafeAtHomeTN.com or call 615-253-3043.
