What Is It?
Understanding Identity Theft Protection
Identity theft protection insurance covers the costs associated with restoring your identity after it’s been stolen — including legal fees, lost wages, notary and document costs, and credit monitoring. Identity theft affects millions of Americans each year and can take hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to resolve without proper coverage.
Who Needs It?
Is This Right for Me?
Everyone is at risk for identity theft — but those who shop online frequently, use public Wi-Fi, have been involved in a data breach, have children (child identity theft is common), or are approaching retirement age (Social Security fraud) are particularly vulnerable. Coverage is affordable and the restoration support alone is worth it.

Common Questions
Identity Theft Protection FAQs
Does identity theft insurance cover stolen money?
Identity theft insurance primarily covers the costs of restoring your identity — legal fees, lost wages, and document replacement costs. It typically doesn’t cover the direct financial theft itself. Many financial institutions and credit cards have their own fraud protection for direct losses.
How long does identity theft recovery take?
The average identity theft victim spends 200+ hours over 6 months resolving the aftermath. Professional restoration services provided through your policy dramatically reduce this burden by handling much of the work for you — contacting creditors, agencies, and authorities on your behalf.
Is child identity theft really a concern?
Yes — children’s Social Security numbers are often used for fraud precisely because parents don’t monitor their child’s credit. Some identity theft policies include family coverage that protects children’s identities as well. Fraud can go undetected for years until the child applies for credit.
How much does identity theft protection cost?
Identity theft coverage is often surprisingly affordable — as little as $25-$50 per year as an add-on to your homeowners or renters policy, or $100-$300 per year for a standalone comprehensive plan with active monitoring. Given the average cost of identity theft recovery, it’s excellent value.
