What most people do not understand is that credit issuers do not have a way to verify the age of the applicant. The information on the application is typically taken at face value. This is particularly true with telephone and Internet applications. In person, few credit issuers request proof of identity, a driver’s license for instance. Even then, many clerks have not been trained on how to recognize counterfeited or altered licenses. For these reasons and others, issuers often will not know the true age of the applicant.
Criminal identity theft occurs when a person “borrows” the information of the minor to get a driver’s license or uses the child’s identity when caught in a criminal act. This person may be an undocumented worker who bought the information or a relative who has had a license suspended or revoked.
