How to report license or registration fraud (stolen identify)

If you believe a person is using your DMV license permit and or non-driver ID card to steal your identity, it is important that you report the theft to the DMV.

If you have evidence that another person has

  • obtained a driver license, registration document or title certificate in your name, or
  • used your identity and DMV ID number from your driver license, learner permit or non-driver ID for fraudulent purposes

carefully read the instructions, and fill out the Report of Unauthorized Use of License/Registration (PDF) (FI-17) and send it to the DMV at the address on the form.

You must have documented evidence of fraud to submit a Report for Unauthorized Use.  Evidence can include

  • traffic tickets
  • personal checks that you did not receive or write
  • documents that contain your DMV ID number from your driver license, learner permit or non-driver ID
