Preventing Fraudsters from using Deceased Persons' Identities

Preventing fraudsters from using deceased individuals’ identities is essential for protecting families and businesses from the consequences of identity theft. Criminal organisations often target deceased individuals for fraudulent purposes, using their identities to apply for accounts, credit, mobile phone contracts and more. The Australian Death Check service helps prevent this illegal activity by identifying and flagging deceased records, making it difficult for fraudsters to use the identity of the deceased for their illegal activities.

With over 3 million national death records updated daily, the Australian Death Check service provides a reliable and accurate way for businesses to protect their customers and safeguard their reputation. By choosing our solution, businesses can ensure that their customer data is up-to-date and that they are protected from the consequences of identity fraud.
