Can you keep my address and/or phone number confidential?

If you are afraid of your abuser finding out your new address information, please make sure the paralegal or County Attorney assigned to your case is aware of your concern. There are steps that can be taken to limit the disclosure of that information. Remember, your safety is a prime concern for the County Attorney’s Office and law enforcement.

You may also be able to establish a “substitute mailing address” through the Nebraska Secretary of State’s Address Confidentiality Program. For more information about this program, please call 402-471-3568 or read about the Address Confidentiality Program (Nebraska Secretary of State).
