Address Confidentiality Programs by State
For each jurisdiction, the table shows which program facts its primary official source establishes. An unsettled field prints its recorded reason instead of a conclusion.
/* Not legal advice. This page is research, not compliance guidance. */ /* */
What does each state establish about its address confidentiality program?
The five fields separate whether a program exists, which applicant classes the official source names, who may assist or sponsor an application, the official program page, and the controlling statute.

Source: 51 jurisdictions. Each source link opens the authority for its cell. The page source record lists the capture date for every cell, and the SHA-256 and snapshot path of the source document for the cells that have them.
Field definitions
- Program exists
- Whether a current official program page or controlling statute establishes an operating or authorized address confidentiality program.
- Who may apply
- The applicant classes that the cited official source states are eligible to apply, as that source distinguishes them.
- Who may assist or sponsor
- The certifier, application-assistant, advocate, agency, or sponsor classes that the cited official source expressly authorizes.
- Official program page
- The official government page that identifies the jurisdiction-specific program.
- Controlling statute
- The statute that the cited official source identifies as establishing or controlling the program.
How should Not established be read?
Not established means the selected primary official source does not resolve that specific field; it is not a negative finding.
A program page can establish that a program operates without naming who may assist an applicant, and a statute can name a controlling section without describing the application process. Each field is therefore sourced and reported separately, and a field the source does not resolve is left unsettled rather than inferred.
What does this matrix not claim?
It does not decide whether any person qualifies, rate a program, or say whether a substitute address may be used on a particular filing.
The matrix records what each official source states. How the programs work in practice, and where their protection stops, is covered by Address Confidentiality Programs by State: Explainer. The definition of the program type is at What Is an Address Confidentiality Program?.
How to read Unknown
- Unknown: Verified absence
- The captured authority was searched and shows no such rule or filing. No value is printed because the absence is the finding. The reason and the authority are printed beside the badge.
- Unknown: Not yet verified
- The captured sources did not settle this field yet. No value is printed, not even an earlier one. The reason is printed beside the badge, and an authority is linked only when one was supplied.
Frequently asked questions
Does this matrix say whether a person qualifies for a program?
No. It records the applicant classes each official source names. Whether a particular person qualifies is decided by the program under its own rules.
Why are many cells marked Not established?
Each field has its own evidence rule. A source that shows a program operates may not name who can assist an applicant or cite the controlling statute, so those fields are left unsettled instead of inferred.
Does a listed official program page mean applications are open today?
The program-exists field records whether a current official page or statute establishes an operating or authorized program. The cell's own source and capture date show what was read and when.
