We offer two products for direct consumer purchase—ID Watchdog Select and ID Watchdog Premier. You have the option to select “Individual” or “Family” with a billing option of “Monthly” or “Annually.” When you have selected your plan, you will be directed to a new page to enter your personal information and a credit card for payment. Once we have verified your identity and you have successfully completed your registration, “Activation Complete” will be displayed.  Contact ID Watchdog Customer Care at 800-970-5182, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year if you have any questions.

If you are new to ID Watchdog, you’ll receive a welcome letter around your benefit effective date that confirms your enrollment and includes a unique link for creating your ID Watchdog account. To access your online dashboard, visit the account access link in your welcome letter and enter your unique access code. Enter the required information and set up your password and security questions. You will then need to complete the identity verification process for account activation, which includes both personal and financial questions.

If your benefit effective date has passed and you have not received or you have misplaced your welcome letter, contact ID Watchdog Customer Care at 800-970-5182, and we will be happy to help you set up your account over the phone or resend the welcome email if you prefer. 

The two plans available through the website are retail products with pricing for individual consumers. Through employee benefits, we offer different plans and pricing. Please check your company’s benefits for plan details.

If you signed up for a plan directly from us, we have changed our plan offerings from Plus and Platinum to Select and Premium. Plus and Platinum are still active for people who have previously enrolled in them. If you would like to change to Select or Premium, please contact our Customer Service Center.

We are pleased to offer you the option to continue your identity theft service at the same employee rates offered through your benefits program. Just call 800-970-5182 to speak with a customer service representative, add a credit card or debit card to your account’s billing information, and authorize ID Watchdog to withdraw the monthly service fee from the card provided.
