What Sets Complete ID Apart?
Instead of providing only identity and credit monitoring service, Complete ID also gives you the help you need to take action against identity theft. It has “Identity Restoration Specialists” on staff to assist you with all of the reporting and other work associated with reversing fraudulent transactions and reporting identity theft. The support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
Because Complete ID is a brand by Costco, Costco members receive the best rates for the service. Non-members can still sign up for $19.99 per month.

Why We Recommend the Business & Gold Star Plan
We recommend the Business & Gold Star Plan because you’ll get access to all of Complete ID’s features like ID theft insurance, dark web monitoring, SSN monitoring, and more, but you won’t have to pay the Executive Costco price ($120/yr.). The Gold Star and Business memberships with Costco are $60/yr. – half the price of what you’ll pay for the Executive membership.
