Identity Theft Unit

The Attorney General's Office established the Identity Theft Unit in response to increased identity theft incidents reported by Indiana citizens and to enhance existing efforts to educate Hoosiers about protecting their identities. The Identity Theft Unit assists ID theft victims and provides investigative services to help promote the prosecution of identity thieves.

Attorney General Greg Zoeller has been committed to providing tools in Indiana to fight identity theft throughout his term in office. In 2006, the attorney general's office worked with the Indiana General Assembly to pass a law the Security Breach Disclosure Law. This law requires that Indiana businesses inform their customers about security breaches that have placed their personal information in jeopardy. The attorney general's office enforces the law and can seek up to $150,000 for data breaches that have not been properly disclosed to Indiana customers.

Several thousand people become victims of identity theft in Indiana each year. Most victims never knew they were at risk. Don't let it happen to you. Use the resources provided on this site to start protecting yourself from identity theft — America's fastest growing crime.

If you believe your personal information has been stolen or used by someone other than yourself, you can file a complaint with the ID Theft Unit using the online complaint form. You may also utilize the 'victim kit' available on this site. Should you need further assistance, you may contact the ID Theft Unit at 800-382-5516 or via email at IDTheft@atg.in.gov.
