1723 Safe at Home

The Safe at Home Program, enacted in Kansas in 2006 and administered by the Secretary of State's Office, is a confidential address program that benefits victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and/or human trafficking who have moved to a new location; unknown to their abuser. The program provides (1) a substitute address to be used by participants as their legal address when interacting with state and local agencies, and (2) a free mail forwarding service for first-class mail. Victims can register to vote, obtain a driver's license, etc., without fear that such public records will put them at risk of being located by their abuser.

Participants in this program will have to identify themselves to you and should present an authorization card with the Safe at Home mailing address, a contact phone number, the participant number, and an expiration date.

See 1321.3 for guidance on how the agency is to handle the address in these situations.
