Introduction
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and other federal agencies are committed to
ensuring that victims of federal crime are treated fairly as their case moves
through the criminal justice system. In order to provide victims with
information on case events, as required by the Victims' Rights and Restitution
Act and the Crime Victims' Rights Act, DOJ has developed the Victim Notification
System (VNS). This website provides information about VNS.

VNS is funded by the DOJ Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), Crime Victims Fund.
The Fund was established by the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) of 1984. The Fund is
financed by fines and penalties paid by convicted federal offenders, not from
tax dollars.

This free automated system provides important information to victims. In many
cases, you will receive letters/emails generated through VNS containing
information about the events pertaining to your case and/or any defendants in
the case.

Information provided by VNS is available in English or Spanish on the Internet
and through a toll-free telephone number (Call Center). In cases with a large
number of victims, you may receive only one letter and then be directed to the
Internet, Call Center and/or requested to provide a verified email address for
further information.

All VNS notifications contain a Victim Identification Number (VIN) and a
Personal Identification Number (PIN) that will allow you to access VNS via the
internet and the Call Center.
VNS Internet
You can register with VNS, which will then provide you access to all VNS
information and allow you to verify or add an email address. To access the VNS
Internet go to:

https://www.Notify.USDOJ.gov


 1. Enter your VIN.
 2. Enter your PIN.
 3. Complete the remaining information as requested on the Web site, including
    creating a new VNS password. This password will replace your PIN when
    accessing the VNS website in the future.



VERIFYING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

Email can be verified during the registration process.


 * When you add your email address it is considered verified, and your email can
   be used instead of the VIN when logging into VNS.
 * You can also verify an email address by selecting "Click Here To Receive
   Email Notifications" link from the home page. Verifying your email address
   alone, without registering with VNS will not provide access to the VNS
   website.



AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Once you are registered in VNS you can see the text for each notification and
the additional information listed below:


 * Summary Information - Information regarding investigative status, criminal
   charges filed, custody status, the outcome of the charges, and the sentence
   imposed by the court. If the defendant is in the custody of Bureau of Prisons
   the custody location and scheduled release date is provided.
 * Case Activity/Details - Displays information about the events which are
   occurring in the case(s), including investigative status, notices of public
   court proceedings, notices regarding incarceration and/or parole hearings.
 * Downloads/Links - A list of all case-specific documents and hyperlinks that
   pertain to the case(s).
 * My Information - Provides the ability to update your contact information.
 * Stop Receiving Notifications - Terminates participation in the notification
   program.


If you do not wish to receive notification, you may contact: (1) the VNS Call
Center (1-866-365-4968, provide your VNS VIN & PIN, select Opt Out option); (2)
access the VNS website and select the "Stop Receiving Notifications link", or;
(3) the agency contact person indicated on your notification.
VNS Notification Methods


VNS LETTER/EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

The first notification generated by VNS will be sent by letter (if VNS has a
postal mailing address for you) and by email (if VNS has your email address).
Email will likely be the timeliest method of notification provided by VNS. If
you "verify" an email address VNS will likely send future notifications only by
email. If you have a verified email address, periodically VNS will send you an
email requesting you to re-verify this information.

The verified email notices contain the same information as letter notifications
provided by VNS. Verification of your email address allows VNS to rely on this
method of notification and will eliminate future letter notifications. If you
prefer to receive notifications from VNS via letter only, log in to VNS and
remove all existing email addresses in the system.

If VNS contains your email address and you do not verify that address you will
continue to receive email notices from VNS about your case(s). However, those
unverified email notices will no longer contain the specific details of the
case. To obtain additional information, you will be directed to log in at the
VNS web site: https://www.notify.usdoj.gov

Additionally, notices to email addresses which are not verified will no longer
contain your VNS VIN and PIN.




VNS CALL CENTER

You may access information via the VNS Call Center by calling: 1-866-DOJ-4YOU
(1-866-365-4968). You will be required to enter your VIN and PIN.

By following the prompts, VNS will also provide investigative status, custody
information and notice of upcoming court events and a listing of any criminal
charges filed. There are additional prompts to opt out of VNS.

Please note that in some rare instances involving custody of an inmate with the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, VNS may contact you by an automated phone call which
will require use of your PIN to stop receiving further calls.
Additional Support
If you have additional questions, need to opt out of VNS, or need other
assistance you can also contact the agency representative listed on your last
VNS notification.

It is your responsibility to keep your information in VNS current. This will
insure that you continue to receive notifications. If your address, email or
phone number changes, you should update your contact information through the VNS
Internet or by contacting the VNS Call Center.
