If your identity documents are lost or stolen, there’s a high risk that you could become a victim of identity fraud.
Firstly, you should contact the issuing organisation of the document(s) to let them know.
You can also request for further security on your bank, mobile phone and myGov accounts, as well as placing a ban on your credit report with Experian.
