Do you feel you have the necessary tools to control identity theft? Ultimately, if you don't have enough information on an individual, you don't know whether it's him or someone else who is before you. You are entitled to some information that is relatively easy to find, but, as for the rest, you don't know whether it's really Luc Harvey who's talking to you on the telephone or who appears before you to apply for a passport. So what tools do you have, or what tools would you need to ensure that it is indeed the right individual, the one you should be dealing with, or the one who says he bears a certain name. I bear the name of Luc Harvey, and I can prove it, but someone else could come and call himself Luc Harvey as well.
