Get Started

If your driver's license is lost or stolen, or if you suspect that it has been or will be fraudulently used, you should report your concerns to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) immediately. Ask how to obtain a replacement card and request that a fraud alert be placed on your license.

Except in unusual circumstances, you will have to appear in person at your local DMV office to obtain a new card.

Before you go to your local DMV office, you should find out from the DMV what documentation will be required. If your driver's license number is the same as your social security number (SSN), you should request that an alternate number be used on the replacement card. Using your social security number on your driver's license exposes you to greater risk of identity theft, because of the high frequency of using your driver's license for identification. When you go to the local DMV office to obtain a new card, be sure that your SSN is not used on your new card.

Fraud Alerts

If your only request is that a new card be issued, then a letter to the DMV will probably not be needed. But if you have already received a new card and wish to have a fraud alert added, then you should use this letter. A fraud alert puts the DMV on notice to be more aware of suspicious activity regarding your license. Before placing a fraud alert on your license, the DMV may require proof of fraudulent activity. You can use this letter to confirm your conversation and to send the necessary documentation.

A marriage certificate isn't 'filed', its just something you have to get from the city or county you live in. It's like a drivers license - it just shows that the government gave you permission to get married. There's no fraud involved, unless your spouse misrepresented himself when getting the license.


Can you Have a PA Drivers license and a New York ID card at the same time?

Not legally, no. New York and Pennsylvania will only issue drivers licenses or non-drivers licenses to legal residents of their respective states. If you move out of PA, for example, you are no longer eligible for a PA drivers license. If you use a license showing that you live in PA when you actually live in NY, then that is fraud.


Why does a BEACON credit check not trip a fraud alert?

Simply having your credit checked will not "trip" a fraud alert. A fraud alert only means that a creditor must contact you at a designated phone number before they can GRANT credit. If you want your credit report "frozen" where nobody can see it, then you will have to activate a security freeze. Here's a site that explains how to do both, as well as the advantages and disadvantages to both. http://www.creditscorehero.com/articles/about-credit-freeze-fraud-alert.aspx
