    It is a big offense they will probably spend time in jail/ if they are not from this country for sure they will send them back to theirs after serving time in jail first

    Every state has different legislation concerning identity theft so for info on the penalties that are enforced in a specific area, you would have to refer to that state’s penal code. Generally speaking, the punishment will vary depending on what the stolen info is used for. A person caught with a stolen social security number will likely face at least a class A misdemeanor or low grade felony charge regardless. If the card has been used to take out a loan, the addition of a grand larceny felony charge can result in a more severe identity theft charge. If the ss number belonged to a deceased person it can be an aggravated fraud charge and often stealing info from a senior citizen or a person in the military results in a more serious charge as well. OH and if the social security number was intended to obtain a fraudulent passport to facilitate terrorism then it’s federal identity theft and forget it- they’re doneee!

    Add Bush’s 2004 Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act to that and I have to agree with everyone else, that’s definitely jail time
