10 Ways to Prevent Identity Theft

Keep Records

Have copies of your ID, credit cards, and other personal documents, properly safeguarded, preferably in a safe. Doing this is the perfect way to ensure you have all relevant information on hand, in case something is lost or stolen.

Also, it allows you to immediately alert police, your credit card companies, bank, and other companies you do business with during times of emergency. You can put them on notice, and you have all of the ID numbers, and information they will need to freeze accounts and stop fraudulent activity immediately.
