How do I get my order of protection enforced in another state or territory?
You can get a valid order of protection enforced even if you do not register or file it.1 For your safety, always keep a copy of your order of protection with you.
It can help to know the rules in any state or territory where you will live or visit. This may help you get the police or courts to enforce your order quickly.
A domestic violence organization can tell you how this works in your area. To find one, visit our Advocates and Shelters page and choose your new state or territory in the drop-down menu.
