Identity Theft Protection Services
Frequently Asked Questions about Identity Theft Protection Services.
Can I protect my entire household with a family plan?
TrustedID is the only identity theft protection service reviewed on NextAdvisor.com that offers a true family plan. This plan covers any family members that live at the same address, including your spouse, children, elderly parents or other family members. LifeLock does not offer a true family plan, but customers are encouraged to enroll each of their family members during the initial sign up process. Each adult family member will be subject to the full individual price, but children can also be added for a lower price of just $22.50 per year or $2.25 per month, after the exclusive NextAdvisor.com 15% discount. ProtectMyID does not offer a family plan, either, but they do offer regular subscribers an add-on plan for children called ChildSecure. For $6.95 per month, in addition to the base ProtectMyID adult subscription, ProtectMyID will closely monitor all of your enrolled children's credit information and alert you if someone applies for credit or opens checking accounts using your children's personal information.
