Who has standing to request a protected address?

The right to request a protected address belongs to the person who wants the protection—the party seeking protection. This person has a direct interest in keeping their address confidential in court filings due to safety or privacy concerns, so they file a motion or request with the court (often through their attorney). The court then evaluates and can grant or deny the protection after considering the evidence and safety issues. The other party isn’t the one who initiates protection for the other person, and the clerk isn’t the one who decides the matter; the clerk handles filings, while the judge decides whether to grant the protection.
