A filled-in Form DR 2153 example: a victim files the identity theft affidavit

Form DR 2153 example filled out, example: a victim files the identity theft affidavit
Jane Ann Sample, a Colorado resident, files the affidavit after identity theft. Her identification documents were stolen on or about 02/10/26. She reported the theft to police and attaches the report. The notary completes page 4, and all its values are invented. The picture shows page 1 only. Her name and address did not change, so Name when the events took place and Address when the events took place stay empty. She knows who used her information, so item 5 stays empty. Item 6 is left blank because the form needs no extra comments here.
