How to Monitor your Passport

Overview

VirtualShield uses a sophisticated Very Early Warning System to monitor private and public databases for signs of early identity theft and ID theft risk. After adding you and your family’s information, you can safely shop online and use social media knowing your identity is fully secure against breaches.

In the event that your information appears compromised, we will immediately alert you on your Account Dashboard and via SMS/text message along with instructions on how to protect yourself. If identity theft does happen, our Identity Restoration Team will handle the entire recovery process for you.



Adding your Passport

Similarly to a Driver’s license, passports are often used as a primary or secondary form of identification. While it normally is only used for travel, your passport can also be a tool for thieves to impersonate you and verify themselves as you.

If a thief comes across your passport, you can be at risk in numerous ways. Our system can help prevent that by notifying you immediately if we detect any suspicious activity.

You can to add up to 10 passports at the same time, if you would like to monitor your family’s details in addition to your own.
