Request to Place a Fraud Alert on a Drivers License?
Get StartedIf 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 AlertsIf 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.

What are the opinions about Lifelock ID protection?
Lifelock is a scam. The million dollar insurance policy is a joke. Fist it has to be a "defect in their service" for the insurance to pay out. The fraud alerts are free for anyone to put on their credit record and if one of the companies doesn't place a fraud alert on your file after the request made by lifelock they are also covered there. They agreement states they "will attempt to renew the fraud alerts every 90 days." Well if they attempt to renew the alert and you become a victim of ID Theft you aren't covered because it's not a "Defect in service." They have also done extras to protect Todd Davis' identity as much as possible. For example Todd's full name is Richard Todd Davis- Not just Todd Davis. Bottom line- Lifelock has not covered the details.
What should you do if someone is trying to get a credit card in your child's name?
Credit card fraud /is/ a crime. If you know which company contacted you, I would get in touch with them and let them know what you suspect is going on. Otherwise, I guess you could contact the police or maybe even the FBI. Not only would this be credit card fraud, but maybe identity theft, as well.
