D.C. protects personal identifiers in guardianship and conservatorship cases.
Personal identifying information must be redacted in guardianship and conservatorship actions, unless the court orders otherwise. Specifically, this covers:
(1) an individual’s Social Security number, taxpayer-identification number, driver’s license or non-driver’s license identification card number, and birth date;
(2) the name and initials of an individual known to be a minor; and
(3) a financial-account number.
However, the court may order that a filing be made under seal without redaction. The court may later unseal the filing or order the person who made the filing to file a redacted version for the public record.
For good cause, the court may make a further order to:
(1) require redaction of additional information; or
(2) limit or prohibit a nonparty’s remote electronic access to a document filed with the court.
