Address Confidentiality Program

Nebraska maintains a state-level program that lets eligible officers, judges, and other protected workers use a substitute address for public records.

Public-records carve-outs

  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §23-3211 (2022) — Daniel's Law-style protection: judges, law enforcement officers, and Nebraska National Guard members can withhold home address from county records.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712 et seq. — public records exemption covering law enforcement officers, judges, and qualifying Guard members.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §§60-2901 to 60-2912 — Uniform Motor Vehicle Records Disclosure Act limiting DMV disclosure of personal information.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §32-331 — voter registration confidentiality designation.

Applicable laws

What protects you in Nebraska

Nebraska is one of about 14 states with a broker-removal statute on the books. Neb. Rev. Stat. §23-3211 (2022) lets law enforcement officers, judges, and Nebraska National Guard members participating in law enforcement file an application with the county assessor to keep their home address out of public county records. (Modeled after New Jersey's Daniel's Law, which is the original — that one lets covered officers sue data brokers themselves for failing to remove a home address.) The application stays in force for five years and renews on reapplication. Spouses and qualifying family members are covered through the same filing.

That's the lever. It runs through the Department of Revenue's withholding application and lands at your county assessor. File it once, you're protected for five years against the county-records publishing channel that drives a lot of broker re-listings.

Nebraska's Uniform Motor Vehicle Records Disclosure Act (§§60-2901-60-2912) layers state-level limits on top of the federal DPPA — your DMV record is not freely sold to anyone with a credit card. Voter rolls have a confidentiality designation under §32-331.

What still leaks

  1. Out-of-state brokers. Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and the rest don't honor §23-3211. They source from public-record aggregators outside Nebraska and from commercial feeds.
  2. Court filings. Civil suits, divorce decrees, and small-claims filings often include your home address in the body of the document. The §23-3211 application doesn't reach court records.
  3. ACP gap. Nebraska's Address Confidentiality Program runs through §§42-1201-42-1210, but officers are not explicitly eligible — it's structured for victims of domestic violence and stalking.

Laws that work for you here

  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §23-3211 — file an application with your county assessor to withhold your home address from public records. Renew every five years.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712 et seq. — companion public-records exemption. Same covered officers.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §§60-2901-60-2912 — DMV records protection layered on top of the federal DPPA.
  • Neb. Rev. Stat. §32-331 — voter registration confidentiality. File with your county election commissioner.
  • DPPA (federal) — federal DMV floor in every state. See DPPA.

What we sweep that the state doesn't

The §23-3211 application closes the county-assessor channel. We close the broker channel. We file standard opt-outs across 200+ people-search sites and re-check every two weeks because re-listings happen. The state shielded the public-records side. We handle the side that runs around it.
