Protecting Your Kids’ Identity
Children are prime targets for identity theft. Learn how to monitor, secure, and safeguard your child’s personal information before it’s misused.
Start Protecting TodayWhy Children Are Vulnerable
Kids often have clean credit files, making them attractive to identity thieves. Because most parents don’t monitor their child’s credit, fraud can go undetected for years — sometimes until adulthood. Criminals can open loans, credit cards, or even commit tax fraud using a child’s Social Security number.
How to Safeguard Your Child’s Identity
📋 Request a Credit Freeze
Place a freeze on your child’s credit with all three bureaus. This blocks fraudsters from opening new accounts in their name.
🔐 Limit Shared Info
Only provide your child’s SSN when absolutely required. Avoid using it for school forms, sports registrations, or non-essential documents.
🛡️ Use Child Identity Protection Services
Many identity protection providers offer dedicated child monitoring to alert you to any misuse of your child’s personal data.
📬 Monitor the Mail
If your child receives credit card offers, tax documents, or collection letters, it’s a major red flag. Investigate immediately.
