What is an ID Theft Affidavit?

An ID Theft Affidavit is a legal document that can be used to confirm under oath that your identity was stolen. This sworn statement, signed in front of a notary public, can help to ensure that your accounts aren't wrongfully charged and that no new accounts are opened in your name. It can also help creditors investigate the fraud and stop the thief. Even if there are already issues with your accounts, documenting the whole process in writing can help protect you and preserve your rights when you go to challenge fraudulent charges. No matter the issue, an ID Theft Affidavit can help get you protected as quickly as possible.

When to use an ID Theft Affidavit:

  • Your identity has been stolen.
  • You want to assist creditors in investigating fraudulent use of your identity.
  • You want to make sure no unauthorized accounts are open.
  • You need to ensure that you aren't responsible for charges.

  • Should I hire a lawyer to review my ID Theft Affidavit?

    It’s a good idea to have important documents like your ID Theft Affidavit reviewed before signing, so you fully understand your choices and help avoid unintended outcomes.

  • What might it traditionally cost for an attorney to help me make an ID Theft Affidavit?

    Attorney fees for drafting or reviewing an ID Theft Affidavit can vary widely. Many lawyers charge hourly rates that may range from around $100 for less experienced attorneys to $350 or more per hour for highly experienced attorneys in major metropolitan areas. For more routine documents, some attorneys may offer flat-fee pricing.

    The total cost will depend on several factors, including your location, the attorney’s experience, and the complexity of your agreement. More documents or situations involving negotiation will typically require more time and increase the overall cost.

    With Rocket Lawyer, you can create a personalized ID Theft Affidavit tailored to your specific needs—without the high cost typically associated with hiring a lawyer. If you have questions or want additional peace of mind, you can also get your document reviewed or ask a Legal Pro for guidance.
