Applying for or cancelling a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons

A non-disclosure for personal safety reasons is an exceptional measure that restricts the disclosure of your address information from the Population Information System. When you have a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons, information about your address and municipality of residence can only be disclosed to authorities that may process information subject to the non-disclosure.

Do as follows 

1. Submit an application. 

Submit the application online. Explain what the threat to you is and how likely it is. Attach documents verifying the threat. For use of the online form, you will need online banking codes or a mobile certificate.
