Safeguard Your Child's Social Security Number

Personal ID Services offers a better solution. Parents can submit a special form to all 3 major credit bureaus at once, with a request to create a child "Credit Protection File" and "Child SSN Alert" notice for their child(ren). When a creditor attempts to open a new account using the child's SSN, a special flag will alert the creditor that the Social Security Number belongs to a minor child and that no account may be opened using his/her SSN. The child's CPF can also be set to automatically expire at 18 years of age. Details at: http://www.childidtheftprotection.com
