Hope Card Program

The Indiana Hope Card Program allows anyone with a valid, long-term (12 months or more) order of protection issued after a hearing, for domestic violence, stalking, and/or sexual assault to request a card that summarizes the order’s most important details.

This purpose of this card is to provide law enforcement with critical information in the case of a potential violation of the order.

The Hope Card is a laminated card similar in size and shape to a credit card. The program and card are free of charge to petitioners.

A Hope Card is not a substitute for a protective order. It is simply a more durable and portable means of proving pertinent information about an existing protective order.

To apply for a Hope Card, please visit a victim advocate. A list of advocates can be found at http://www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/2352.htm#advocates.
