What should I do if someone uses my identity to get a California driver’s license?

Dealing with state bureaucracies can feel cold and frustrating when your identity has been compromised. You must immediately contact the DMV Investigations Division to submit a fraud complaint along with your police report and genuine ID. They can place a “fraud alert” on your record. Identity theft disrupts your life and your family, but taking this immediate step forces the system to recognize the fraud and prevents further unauthorized changes to your driving record.
