>What is Cal CAP?
>Cal CAP is the nickname of the NEW California Confidential Address Program
>administered by the Secretary of State. It is a unique, no cost mail
>forwarding service designed to help victims of domestic violence who have
>recently moved or are planning to relocate in the near future to a safe
>place unknown to their abusers. The mail forwarding service aids
>participants of the Cal CAP program in keeping their home, work, or school
>address confidential by providing them with a substitute address, thereby
>adding an extra layer of security to a victim's safety plan.
>
>Under Cal CAP, established by legislation (SB 489, Chapter 1005/98), an
>adult person, guardian on behalf of a minor or an incapacitated person can
>designate the Secretary of State as his/her agent for service of process and
>mail receipt. As their agent, the Secretary of State's office will accept
>and forward legal documents, first-class and certified mail and mail from
>government agencies to their new location -- which is kept confidential.
>
>California has joined a growing number of states emerging to confront the
>epidemic of domestic violence in a unique way that affords address
>confidentiality to its victims.
>
>Cal CAP allows state and local agencies throughout the state to coordinate
>in conjunction with the Secretary of State to ensure address protection to
>survivors of domestic violence. These agencies are free to respond to
>requests for public records information without disclosing the location of
>victims enrolled in the program.
>
>Where Can I Sign Up to Participate in Cal CAP?
>Interested abuse victims can ONLY enroll in the Confidential Address Program
>at a designated domestic violence/victims assistance program facility in
>California.

>Contact Your Local Domestic Violence Facility For More Information
>Or call

.. I wonder if they're planning to comply with the Postal Service regs for
remailing/mailbox services.
