Which type of protection order is specifically recognized across state lines?

The correct answer is the foreign protection order. This type of protection order is specifically designed to be recognized across state lines, facilitating the enforcement of protective measures regardless of geographical boundaries. Foreign protection orders come into play particularly in situations where individuals cross state lines and need to maintain the protections afforded by a restraining order issued in another state.

The Uniform Interstate Enforcement of Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act (UIEDVPOA) supports this concept by ensuring that valid protection orders issued in one state can be enforced in any other state without the need for the victim to go through a new court process. This cross-state recognition is critical in enhancing the safety and legal protection of individuals who might be at risk of violence or threats from a partner as they move or travel.

Other options, while relevant in their contexts, do not provide the same level of interstate recognition. State protection orders are only enforceable within the issuing state, local restraining orders have a limited local reach, and federal injunctions serve different legal purposes which do not specifically relate to the recognition of protection orders in a domestic violence context across state lines.
