 TITLE: What Is an Identity Theft Affidavit? CONTENT: What Information Do I Need to File an Identity Theft Affidavit?\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nTo complete the FTC's Identity Theft Affidavit, you need to provide personal data including your Social Security number, address and contact information. You also will need to provide your driver's license number or information from another government-issued ID.\nOnce you provide your personal data, you'll be asked to explain the details of the fraud committed, including some of the following details:\n*   Whether any of the personal information in your credit report is incorrect as a result of the fraud.\n*   Whether any new accounts or inquiries were listed in your credit reports as a result of the fraud.\n*   Details of any fraudulently opened accounts, or accounts that have been tampered with as a result of the identity theft.\nFinally, since an affidavit is an official statement, you'll need to declare whether you authorized anyone to use your information, whether you benefited in any way from the fraud, and whether you are willing to work with law enforcement if charges are brought against anyone found to have stolen your identity.\nThough you'll be asked if you are willing to work with police in the event charges are brought against someone, you don't actually need to file a police report to obtain an Identity Theft Affidavit.
