State Representative Duane Quam from Byron in southeast Minnesota says he’ll continue pushing for a law that would allow victims of identity theft to obtain a special “I-D theft passport” to prove they are who they say they are.  Quam contends victims could use it when dealing with creditors, or if they’re accused of a crime actually committed by someone using their name

 

Quam says an “identity theft passport” can help victims reclaim their financial stability more quickly.
