identity. MVD does not tolerate driver license, ID card, or motor
vehicle fraud. To better protect your identity and reduce fraud, the MVD
has set up a MVD Fraud Hotline.

The information you provide protects everyone!
Identity thieves steal or obtain Social Security cards
and numbers, birth certificates, immigration documents or personal
information that is unique to you. The identity thief can use this
information to
- Get a driver license or ID card
- Open a bank account or get credit in your name
- Purchase an automobile or real estate
- Drain personal bank or other financial accounts
- Create fake driving and criminal record entries
- Get fraudulent government benefits
- Obtain employment
Identity theft can result in your driving privileges being
suspended or your credit rating being destroyed. You could have trouble
getting your government benefits, or you could be accused of not
reporting wages. You might be held liable for motor vehicle incidents
that had nothing to do with you.
