Keep your home address private

Montana's Address Confidentiality Program, run by the Department of Justice Office of Victim Services, gives participants a substitute address. It also forwards first-class mail to them for free.1

  • It is for Montana residents who are victims of partner or family member assault, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, or who are eligible to apply for an order of protection.1
  • You can fill out the application yourself, or get help from a crime victim advocate.1
  • State and local governments must accept the substitute address. Private businesses and federal agencies don't have to, but the program says most businesses will use it if asked.2

Go to the Address Confidentiality Program (dojmt.gov)

Help for victims of crime

The Crime Victim Compensation program, part of the Office of Victim Services, gives financial help to some crime victims with certain costs from the crime. The program decides who qualifies.3
