Frequently Asked Questions about Identity Theft Protection

How can I protect my children from identity theft?

TrustedID's family plan includes protection for your children. TrustedID safeguards children's identities by requesting their credit reports, Social Security statements and medical benefits statements to make sure no one else has been using their information, as well as scanning black market Internet sites to see if any of their information is compromised.

Identity Guard offers a service adult subscribers can add to their existing plan called Kid Sure. Kid Sure utilizes advanced scanning technology to search for the fraudulent use of your child's personal information, including Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and public record data. It searches the Internet black market, pre-credit sources (such as utility and telecommunications) and thousands of databases (including public records) to help protect your child from identity theft.

ProtectMyID features add-on plans for regular subscribers called ChildSecure. ProtectMyID closely monitors all your enrolled children's credit information and alerts you if someone applies for credit or opens checking accounts using your child's personal information.

LifeLock also protects children's identities, allowing adult subscribers to add children's coverage for a low price.
