The Good
- Identity Protection
- Affordable Monthly Plans
- Comprehensive Identity and Credit Reporting Services
- $1 Million Dollar Protection
- Online Educational Resources
Identity Protection
IdentityIQ monitors for any use of a customer's SSN within its network and alerts them of what is seen. Other monitoring services will only alert customers if their SSN is used with a wrong address or name. In addition, IdentityIQ performs enhanced change of address notification.
The company not only monitors for a change of address request with the credit reporting agencies but also monitors the National Change of Address registry to make sure customers are informed of changes made to their information.
Identity monitoring includes:
- National and International Criminal Record Monitoring
- SSN Trace
- Enhanced Change of Address Monitoring
- U.S.-Based Fraud Restoration Customer Service Team
Affordable Monthly Plans
IdentityIQ offers people four affordable monthly identity management solution plans which range from $6.99 to $29.99 per month.
The Secure Plan includes daily credit report monitoring for one credit bureau, dark web and internet monitoring, and up to $1 million in insurance.
Additionally, those who sign up for the Secure Plan receive social security number alerts, synthetic identity theft protection, file sharing network searches, lost wallet assistance, U.S.- based identity restoration services, checking account report, and Opt-out IQ.
The Secure Plus Plan includes everything from the Secure Plan along with IQ alerts with application monitoring and change of address.
The Secure Pro Plan includes everything from the Secure Plus Plan along with enhanced three-bureau credit report monitoring, alerts on crimes committed in your name, and credit score change alerts.
Lastly, the Secure Max Plan includes everything from the Secure Pro Plan along with credit score tracker, credit scores simulator, family protection, and fraud restoration with LPOA.
Comprehensive Identity and Credit Reporting Services
IdentityIQ works with each major credit bureau to help customers monitor their credit report and score activity.
Customers also receive daily fraud alerts and monthly credit scores. Select plans feature a credit score simulator, which provides consumers with information about how certain activities affect credit ratings.
Unlike most of its competitors, IdentityIQ offers up to 12 credit reports per year.
$1 Million Dollar Protection
IdentityIQ will offer up to $1 million in identity theft insurance for users.
If customers have out-of-pocket costs due to theft, they're covered with up to $1 million in ID theft insurance for Lost Wages, Legal help, and Stolen Funds reimbursement.
If a customer becomes a victim of identity theft, IdentityIQ will make sure they receive personal identity restoration and insurance services.
Customers that enroll in IdentityIQ's Secure Max Plan are provided with up to $1 million in ID Theft insurance and up to $25,000 for their children. This $1 Million Dollar Protection plan can be a solid solution for those who fall victim to identity theft.
Online Educational Resources
IdentityIQ provides an impressive amount of identity theft information on its website.
These online resources cover topics like data breaches, suspicious activity, identity theft motives, type of identity theft, identity management solutions, processes, personal security and risk, and more.
The Bad
- Partially Limited Services
Partially Limited Services
Although IdentityIQ does provide some great identity protection services, there are a few services that some other companies in the industry offer that IdentityIQ does not seem to provide like driver's license monitoring, data breach monitoring, and antivirus software/additional device protection.
The Bottom Line
IdentityIQ strives to provide a comprehensive identity security suite.
The company offers consumers a number of attractive features to protect their identities from identity fraud, including affordable monthly plans, enhanced identity monitoring like social security monitoring and credit report monitoring, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.
IdentityIQ also offers comprehensive, U.S.-based identity restoration customer service to all users who are faced with a stolen identity situation while using the company's service.
Additionally, IdentityIQ also offers a variety of online educational resources that cover topics like data breaches, identity thief motives, and more.
One potential downside of IdentityIQ is that its services are somewhat limited in comparison to other top-rated identity protection companies, specifically when it comes to additional protective software and monitoring.
Potential customers are encouraged to read IdentityIQ reviews to see the company's service from a consumer point of view.

Great company for credit building, credit review. Customer service was excellent

The idea is great. However the customer service wasnt very clear on how their product works (the lowest plan). They also are hard to understand. A bit pricey for the product.

Shameaka
Identity IQ is one of the best credit monitoring providers I’ve used. They update me via email when there’s been change to my credit report and/or score. I think the monthly fee is reasonable for the services received.
Kateri McKnight
This company has assisted me in monitoring the progress of my credit repair. I am glad that I can get all 3 credit bureau information from this one site. It's actually better than having a membership with the actual individual bureaus.

I love identity because it keeps me updated about what is going on with my credit and help me to improve my credit and pay my bills on time.

My experience with IDIQ was upsetting because the way they chose to do business with me. It was not about the money however they convinced me to pay for a plan that cost a lot less and did not tell me that I wouldn't have access to my report. I would've canceled much sooner had I had known that. Again not about the money they really just tricked me into another plan that was completely useless.
Marshall Henderson
Each time I've talked with someone they've been polite, courteous and understanding. I've never felt like a second rate human because of the services that Identity IQ has provided.
Daniel B
Identity IQ is super fast about reporting inquiries and always up to date on the reports. I've already referred Identity IQ to my friends and family.
Julie Ritter
I was never able to log in to my account. I had someone else’s security questions linked to my account. I called to correct it twice. Both times I was told it had been fixed. Still I was never able to log in to my account. At almost $20/mo, the least I expected was to see my credit scores. Went with a less expensive, efficient company.

Hi Julie, we've reviewed your account and it looks like you've been a customer with us since 2016. In the time you've been with us we show that you've logged in multiple times. In September of 2017 you did have an issue resetting your password and were presented with the security question for your account. The incorrect answer was given and with the help of customer service, your security questions were reset and you logged in successfully. In December we're showing that you had an issue pulling an Equifax credit report due to Equifax requiring a previous address to verify your identity and pull the correct data. We at that time gave you an additional free credit report. We are still showing that you have an active account with us. We do show that you still have an open account with us. Please let me know if any of the information that we are showing is incorrect. I'm sorry your experience over the past couple years hasn't been what you were looking for. We'd love to keep you as a customer, please let us know what we can do to make it happen.
Amanda Elebario

I give IdentityIQ a 5 because my time with your service was short but it that time period I was pleased with the quickness of the report being provided, the look of the report and how easy it was to read and understand. It was also easy to cancel the service when it came time for me to do that!

Identity iq Ia a great way to check your credit report and see where you stand as far as being approved for loans or credit cards or even to purchase a brand new car, it shows you updates and why your credit may have went up or down.
