The Maryland General Waiver and Release — for use with shielding of domestic violence and peace order records — is a legal document that is used to protect the privacy of victims of domestic violence and peace order records. It allows victims to keep their records shielded from public view and provides important privacy protections. There are two types of Maryland General Waiver and Release — for use with shielding of domestic violence and peace order records: the Standard Waiver and the Limited Waiver. The Standard Waiver allows victims to keep the records shielded from public view and provides important privacy protections, while the Limited Waiver provides victims with the option to keep the records shielded from public view but provides fewer privacy protections. Both waivers must be signed by the victim, the attorney representing them, and a Maryland State's Attorney.
