1. Protect Your Information: The Federal Trade Commission stated that some of the most notorious identity theft comes from disposed trash of credit card or insurance offers. If you do not dispose off your information more properly, there’s a possibility that a thief will fish through your trash gathering private essentials such as your name, address, and other delicates sent in the mail. Protect yourself from these types of thieves by investing in a shredder to crumble the trash in to smaller bits that are harder to read. Besides this, there are many other ways to prevent identity theft.
2. Buy a Safety Deposit Box: Place your social security card, birth certificate, and other vital information in a safety deposit box at your bank. It is very easy to sign up for one of these. They are a great type of security to prevent identity theft because when you go to check it or replace things, etc., there is a bank professional that watches you as you open, check, add, or take things from it. There are many situations where the bank professional will actually need to be there to simultaneously open the box.

These are great features to protect against house fires, lesser categories of hurricanes and tornadoes, and mild earthquakes.
The downside of keeping it in your house would be the fact that, if someone was to break in, the box could possibly be stolen. If this were to happen, then to prevent identity theft, contact your bank, place of employment, Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure they can put holds on your account and track purchases.
4. Buy a Good Shredder: With the rise of fraudulent Direct Mail and other associations, we can be literally buried with all the junk mail and fake offers. Shred everything that has your name and address on it. You can never be too careful.
