Keep your home address private
Utah's Safe at Home program gives participants a legal substitute address to use in place of their home address. It forwards first-class mail to their real address.1
- State and local government agencies must accept the substitute address. Private companies may accept it, but they don't have to.1
- It is for people in Utah who have been victims of, or threatened with, abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or human trafficking, and who fear for their safety if the person knew where they live.21
- You must apply with a Certified Safe at Home Program Assistant. The program does not accept applications directly from individuals. The program's website lists assistants by county.2
Help for victims of crime
The Utah Office for Victims of Crime gives financial help with certain crime-related costs to people who were hurt as a direct result of a crime, and in some cases to their family members. The office decides who qualifies.3
Find a lawyer
This site does not give legal advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed Utah lawyer.
- The Utah State Bar runs Licensed Lawyer, a referral website. You answer a few questions and get a list of Utah lawyers who handle your type of problem.4
- If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. The Utah State Bar points people to Utah Legal Help and the courts' Self-Help Center. It also runs a Modest Means Lawyer Referral Program for reduced-rate help if you qualify by income.5
