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.
- Consider reporting the exposure to the U.S. State Department if you see suspicious activity; a new passport invalidates the old number.
- 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.
- Ask your card issuer to replace the card and review recent transactions; card fraud is usually refunded if reported quickly.
- Change the password on this account and on any other site where you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication.
- Get your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for accounts you do not recognize.
- Call the WestJet helpline at 1-833-294-7065 if you have questions about your letter.
