What to do now

- Contact your state DMV to ask whether your license number should be replaced, and watch for accounts opened with your ID.
- Your date of birth is often used to verify identity: add a fraud alert to your credit file so lenders must confirm it is really you.
- Call your bank, ask about extra monitoring or a new account number, and review statements for small unknown charges.
- Review the Explanation of Benefits statements from your insurer for services you never received.
- Ask your insurer whether a new member ID can be issued, and check claims made under your policy.
