Daniel’s Law Removal Request

For NJ-covered persons under N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1 + analogous state-law requestors (NY judiciary, etc.)

New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law (P.L.2020 c.125 + 2023 amendments) allows certain “covered persons” — active and retired judicial officers, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, child-protective investigators, code enforcement officers, and their immediate family — to request that their home address be removed from public-information sources.

Submit this form to record a removal request. RegWatch will action the request within 10 business days of receipt (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1 SLA). We honor analogous requests from NY/CT covered persons under the same SLA where applicable, even when the source statute doesn’t formally extend.

Note: RegWatch does not collect NJ owner names at the source layer — NJ MOD-IV strips them statewide so most NJ-property requests are already structurally honored. This form covers analogous requests for NY (where ACRIS contains owner names) and any RegWatch-cached NJ data that may pre-date the source redaction.

Submit removal request

Full name *

Email (for confirmations) *

Covered-person status *

Address(es) to suppress *

One address per line. Include street, city, state, zip. Don’t include the request justification — just the address(es).

Additional notes (optional)

Affidavit: I affirm that the information above is true, that I am the covered person identified (or their authorized agent), and that I understand RegWatch may require additional documentation to verify this request. False statements are subject to N.J.S.A. 2C:28-1 (false swearing) penalties.

What happens next

You submit this form. We record the request in daniels_law_requests with a 10-business-day SLA deadline.
We email [email protected] the request details so the privacy team can verify identity and authority.
Once verified (typically within 5 business days), we suppress your name + home address from all RegWatch-rendered pages, reports, and AI-chat responses for the BBLs/addresses you listed.
You receive a written confirmation when the redaction is in effect.

What we need to verify your request

Proof of covered-person status (badge, official ID, employer letter, or notarized affidavit).
The home address(es) you want suppressed (complete street address + city + state + zip).
If submitting through an authorized agent: written authorization signed by the covered person.

Email supporting documents to [email protected] after submitting the form. Reference the request ID in the subject line.

Public-records carve-out

Daniel’s Law applies to commercial publishers and data brokers. We honor it as broadly as state law permits. Some surfaces — public-records databases that we re-index from official agency feeds, where the agency itself publishes the name — may require us to suppress derivative renderings while the source continues to publish. We do not control the source.

Penalties for non-compliance

Daniel’s Law allows a covered person to seek a court order requiring compliance plus damages of $1,000 per violation, plus actual damages, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees(N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.4(b)). RegWatch takes these requests seriously; the 10-business-day SLA above is non-discretionary.
