What Is Identity Fraud?
Identity fraud occurs when someone uses another person’s personal details—such as name, date of birth, address, or financial information—without permission, usually to commit criminal or financial gain.
Examples include:
- Applying for credit or loans in someone else’s name
- Using false identity documents (passports, driver’s licences)
- Accessing online bank accounts fraudulently
- Using another person’s ID to evade arrest or gain employment
- Participating in phishing, hacking or social engineering schemes
These offences are often investigated by the police, Action Fraud, the National Crime Agency (NCA), or Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
