Keep your home address private

Arizona's Address Confidentiality Program, run by the Secretary of State, gives participants a substitute address to use instead of their home, work, or school address. It forwards first-class, registered, certified, and election mail to them at no cost.1

  • State and local government agencies must accept the substitute address.1
  • It is for adults who are victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, or stalking, fear for their safety, and have moved in the past 90 days, or plan to move soon, to a place in Arizona the offender does not know. You need documents that support the victimization. A parent or guardian can apply for a minor or incapacitated person.2
  • You cannot apply on your own. You meet in person with a registered Application Assistant, who works at an agency that serves victims.2

Help for victims of crime

Arizona's Crime Victim Compensation Program may help eligible victims of crime with certain out-of-pocket costs, such as medical costs and mental health counseling. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission oversees it, and each county attorney's office runs it locally. The program decides who qualifies.3

Find a lawyer

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

  • The State Bar of Arizona does not give referrals itself. It points people to the lawyer referral services run by the Maricopa County and Pima County bar associations. These charge a fee for a first meeting with a lawyer.4
  • If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. The State Bar points people to AZLawHelp.org, which has free legal information and help.4
