Family Plans Covering Up to 5 Adults and Unlimited Children
Family identity theft happens when someone — whether a relative or a stranger — uses your personal information without permission. Children and seniors are common targets, and fraud tends to go undetected for years. Here’s how Identity Guard monitors each family member for signs of identity fraud.
Dark Web Monitoring & Alerts
Track up to 80 pieces of personal data — like emails, SSN, and health IDs — across the Dark Web and breach files. Get alerts if your information appears in a known data breach or Dark Web marketplace.
Child Dark Web Monitoring
Monitor for signs that your child’s name, SSN, or date of birth has been exposed in data breaches. Each child’s information is tracked separately and alerts are sent to the parent or guardian account.
Child SSN Monitoring
Scan credit header data and other identity databases to see if your child’s SSN is being used fraudulently. Get alerts if it's linked to credit applications, utilities, or bankruptcy records.
Financial Transaction Monitoring
Connect your bank, credit, and investment accounts to monitor for fraud and signs of account takeover. You’ll be notified if new accounts are opened, payday loans are linked to your SSN, or transactions exceed set limits.
3-Bureau Credit Monitoring
Check your credit files with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion for signs of identity misuse. Any new accounts, hard inquiries, or changes to your personal or credit information will trigger alerts.
USPS Address Change Monitoring
Track official USPS change-of-address requests for each covered adult on your plan. Receive notifications if someone tries to reroute your mail — an early warning sign of identity theft.
$1 Million ID Theft Insurance
Each adult on your plan is covered for up to $1 million in eligible identity theft-related expenses, including stolen funds reimbursement, legal fees, lost wages, and childcare or travel costs tied to recovery.
Security Freeze Assistance
Get instructions and links to place, lift, or remove credit freezes with all three credit bureaus. Ultra plan members can also lock and unlock their Experian credit file through the Identity Guard mobile app.
Online Identity Dashboard
Each adult on your plan gets a private dashboard to see alerts, manage account monitoring, and update settings. Child identity monitoring is managed by the primary account holder.
White Glove Fraud Resolution: If you’ve been a victim of identity theft, Identity Guard can help you report losses with the right financial institutions, recover stolen funds, and rebuild your credit score — available with the Ultra plan.
