Casey Anthony is a free woman.

The 26-year-old has remained in hiding during the duration of her probation for check-fraud charges, but Breaking Celebrity News has confirmed with the Department of Corrections in Florida that she is officially off probation and free to go wherever she wants.

As Breaking Celebrity News was first to report, in anticipation of her release from probation, Casey got a United States passport.

"Her future plans are the subject of serious deliberation and discussion," her attorney Charles Greene told the Orlando Sentinel earlier this week.

"I have sincere concerns as to her safety."

Casey was acquitted last summer of killing her two-year-old daughter Caylee and although she's free now, she will have to return to Florida in January because she is being sued for defamation by Zenaida Gonzalez.
