The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is trying to stop identity theft by getting hundreds of people involved in stopping crime.
In 2006, the DMV opened up a hotline for workers and customers to report cases of possible fraud at the agency.
The hotline got 1,477 tips in 2007, which is a nine percent increase over 2006.
Five people were arrested as a result of the tips last year.
Residents can report possible identity theft at the DMV by calling 800-ZERO-FRAUD.

Fraud crimes will continue to grow until the government and banks exploit ID KEY system described on website www.xwave.co.uk which will deter fraud by making both signature and PIN systems reliable and foolproof. Why would anyone get tempted to do identity fraud if they had to personalise their signatures on agreements, cheques, money withdrawal notes etc. with ID stickers? Why would anyone get tempted to do mail order fraud when they have to personalise their signatures on receipts with ID stickers? Why would anyone get tempted to do ATM fraud via use of stolen and skimmed cards when they would need security code stored on ID KEY to activate the transaction? ID KEY system will eliminate the need for us to protect our personal and card details since fraudsters will not get tempted to misuse them. Proposed ID KEY can be treated as a reliable international ID card because it will personalise signature and PIN number to only the right individuals.

Hopefully, someone will report all the illegal aliens that frequent the DMV, having their NC driver's licenses changed over to VA.
