<prompt> Human: My fiancee moved in to my house this month. Our wedding is approaching and her lease was up, so it didnt make sense to enter into another year-long lease for her apartment. Being a responsible citizen, she applied to have her drivers license changed to my address.That application was filed with the local DMV at one particular office on 626. Yesterday we received a letter in the mail stating that my fiancees application for a Lowes store credit card required her to confirm via mail. Only problem: she didnt apply for a Lowes credit card. She has no reason to even go into Lowes.She ran her credit reports and sure enough, theres a new Macys credit card on there that she also did not apply for. She called Macys and they were super helpful. They believed her right away and asked her to confirm the last four digits of her drivers license. The numbers they read off did not match her actual drivers license. According to Macys security personnel, they would have gotten that number from a license presented to them at the store when the card was applied for.Today we received a notice that a Kohls credit card had also been applied for, but the application was rejected because my fiancee has frozen her credit score account, which you can do via the three reporting agencies. She had frozen only one of the three at the time the application was made. It seems that it was just luck that Kohls happened to contact the one she had frozen and thus kicked the application out.Theres really only one possible explanation here. The first card Macys was applied for on 71, five days after she changed her address. It has had 1500 charged to it in the last two weeks. She didnt buy anything online or update any other information with the new address during that period because she hadnt even received her new drivers license with my address until last week. Yet someone was using A drivers license, with her information but a different drivers license number, to apply for cards around town.Clearly, someone at the DMV stole my fiancees identity, plain and simple. They are the only people who both knew of her new address and had the ability to create a bogus drivers license in her name. Im not naming the specific location here because my fiancee is meeting with the county sheriffs department today and I want this person to be caught. If anything comes of it Ill report back.Edit: Several people asked for an update so here it is:Alas, we seem to have pursued this as far as possible. My fiancée met with the Sheriffs department and spoke on the phone with investigators from the Department of Drivers Services, but thats the last we have heard. None of those investigators were particularly fired up about this. Not exactly working in shifts over there. It sounds like this happens too often and there are too many people in the chain who handle drivers license applications for them to do much of an investigation. For posteritys sake, this happened in Georgia, which is supposedly 2 in the country in identity theft if you believe the billboards.We have continued to receive a handful of rejection notices in the mail but the credit freeze has kicked them all back. They seem to be tapering off now. My guess is the crook has moved on to the next victim.I guess the moral of this story is, freeze your credit scores and dont assume the people administering the license system are any less criminal than the general public at large.Assistant: Good move being proactive at the first sign of trouble and freezing credit score inquiries. From a previous post by zonination: File a police report. Go to annualcreditreport.com and dispute any information which is inaccurate. You may need to provide the police report as evidence. Follow the FTC guidelines on identity theft.It seems like you may have done some of these already, but just make sure you havent left anything else off the list. Good luck!Human: Yeah we jumped right on all of that, but its a good idea to post it here too. In our area the local police dont deal with internet crime, but instead its handled by the county Sheriffs office, which is who she is meeting with this afternoon.I really hope they catch this person because I am sure this isnt a one time thing.  <response>: What about your state Office of the Inspector General or Attorney Generals Office? Since her license is issued by the state, this is a breach of the public trust, pretty serious crime, and a potential threat to national security. Think about it this way, if someone at your local DMV were willing to create a genuine ID to commit credit card fraud, they could be bribed or blackmailed into creating one for other people.
