4 Documents To Shred

Old Passports

Passports expire eventually, it’s just a matter of when. Some like to hold on to the old versions of their passports, be it for some manner of collection or sentimental value, people will keep them. You can surely see that this does pose a great risk for identity theft considering the contents of a passport. Your best option is to have them shredded as soon as they have expired and you received your updated passport.

Drivers Licenses

Very similar to passports, old drivers licenses contain similar sensitive information that can compromise your information. Holding on to these is not an ideal decision to make for the same reason as the above. The information taken from this can be used to access all manner of accounts and information you’d rather keep private.

Bank Statements

A very obvious option, your bank statements are a direct line to your finances. Targeting these is one of the oldest methods by those who try to steal information. There’s no need to go into detail about this one, but in case you need a reminder, this information can be used to access your bank accounts, credit cards, etc.
