Information for Law Enforcement

Identity Theft Victim Packet

The links below give law enforcement officers materials they can use to help victims of identity theft.  The Victim Checklist and the Affidavit can be given to victims to use as they take all the steps necessary to clear up their records. “How to Use the California Identity Theft Registry” (with its related forms) can be given to victims who have a criminal record created in their name by an identity thief.   In addition, Penal Code section 530.8 makes it possible for identity theft victims or their law enforcement representatives to get copies of documents on fraudulent accounts from the financial institution or utility where the accounts were opened.  The link for Requesting Fraudulent Account Information leads to forms to use for requesting the information.  Officers may direct victims who need additional assistance in clearing up their records to the Office of Privacy Protection’s Web site and toll-free number, 1-866-785-9663.
