Who can file an Application to Omit Information: 

An individual may file a request to omit or obscure some or all of the individual’s primary identification information in publicly accessible information in the LOTR, if the individual believes that making that information publicly accessible could reasonably be expected to threaten the safety or mental or physical health of the individual, or a member of the individual’s household.

An application to omit information may only be made if the transparency report containing the information to be omitted has been filed.

To file an Application to Omit Information, legal professionals must use a myLTSA Enterprise account, and individuals must use a myLTSA Explorer account. The only exception to this is for applications under section 40 of LOTA where filing electronically would create an undue hardship. In those cases, the applicant must contact the Administrator to request a paper form for the application.
