Identity theft is a serious crime that can have a devastating impact on your life. Thieves can use your stolen personal information to open new accounts, make fraudulent Free Downloads, and even take over your existing accounts.

If you're a traveler, you're at an increased risk for identity theft. When you travel, you're more likely to share your personal information with strangers, such as when you check into a hotel or rent a car. You're also more likely to be away from home, which makes it harder to monitor your accounts for suspicious activity.

That's why it's so important to take steps to protect your identity when you travel. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know to keep your personal information safe.

How to Protect Your Identity When You Travel

There are a number of things you can do to protect your identity when you travel:

• Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to who is around you and be careful about who you share your personal information with.
• Use a passport wallet or other secure storage device to keep your passport and other important documents safe.
• Make copies of your important documents and store them separately from the originals.
• Be careful about using public Wi-Fi networks. These networks can be unsecured, which makes it easy for thieves to steal your personal information.
• Use strong passwords and PINs.
• Monitor your credit report and bank statements regularly for suspicious activity.

What to Do If You're a Victim of Identity Theft
