Cifas Protective Registration: protection against identity theft

Cifas Protective Registration offers protection against identity theft for those who might be at risk.

You’re considered to be at risk if:

  • Your personal documents have recently been lost or stolen
  • You’re the customer of an organisation that has recently lost or leaked data
  • You’ve been advised by the police that you’re at risk of identity theft

To help protect you, Cifas Protective Registration will place a warning flag against your name that will let other organisations know to pay close attention if your details are used to purchase products or services.
