State Agencies
Requirements
The ACP has updated program participant authorization cards. Both card formats are valid through December 31, 2020. All program participants will be issued a new card by December 31, 2020.
New ACP Authorization Card ImagesParticipants may use the substitute address when they interact with state and local government agencies. If they present an ACP authorization card, state and local government agencies are legally required to accept the ACP substitute address as the participant’s address when creating a new public record (RCW 40.24.050). The substitute address may be used in place of the participant’s home, work, school, or mailing address.
Agencies are prohibited from requiring the participant to disclose the address of actual residence.
The ACP substitute address may be used on public records such as:
- Driver licenses/identification cards/vehicle registration
- Voter registrations
- School records
- Public library cards
- Social services records (nutrition assistance, child support, cash assistance, etc.)
- Police reports including incident reports, citations, witness statements and arrest reports
- Court documents
