A Safe at Home participant may use their assigned address for all purposes. No state or local agency or unit of government may refuse to use a Safe at Home participant's assigned address for any official business, unless a specific statutory duty requires the agency or unit of government to use the participant's actual address. A state or local agency or unit of government may confirm a person's status as a program participant by requesting to view the participant's Safe at Home issued Participant Authorization Card or by contacting Safe at Home directly at
(608) 266-6613 or safeathome@doj.state.wi.us.
Confidentiality of the Actual Address
If a Safe at Home participant submits a written request to a local clerk that they keep the participant's actual address private, the local clerk may not disclose any record in their possession which would reveal the Safe at Home participant's actual address, except pursuant to a court order. [See Wis. Stat. § 66.0504(2)]
The right to inspect or copy information in a public record does not apply to the actual address of a Safe at Home participant.
