This service is only for individuals who believe they are victims of identity theft and/or have had their personal identification information stolen or misused in the past and believe that their information may have been used in a Florida criminal history file.

1. To initiate this claim, the claimant must complete a Compromised Identity Review Claim Form, which includes a fingerprint card. The claimant must have his or her fingerprints taken directly on this Claim Form by a law enforcement agency. To insure the integrity of the fingerprints, the law enforcement agency will be asked to route the form to the FDLE at the address provided. The FDLE will only accept Claim Forms that are submitted by a law enforcement agency and in an official agency envelope (unless otherwise approved by the Compromised Identity Program Unit).
   *claimants must notate that the FDLE must notify the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office of their findings.
2. Compromised identity claim forms should be submitted to:

Florida Department of Law Enforcement
Criminal History Record Maintenance – Compromised Identity
P.O. Box 1489
Tallahassee, FL 32302

3. The FDLE will compare personal identifiers and submitted fingerprints of the claimant against the identifiers and fingerprints contained in the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) files and the Biometric Identification System (BIS). If a fingerprint analysis verifies that the claimant’s personal identifiers appear in another individual’s arrest record contained in the Florida CCH files, the FDLE will then work with local law enforcement in an attempt to clear the fraudulent information. 
4. The FDLE will send the claimant and the State Attorney’s Office a letter indicating their findings.
5. If the FDLE finds that the claimants identity has been compromised, an attorney will file a motion to correct the record for Palm Beach County criminal cases.
