The California Order on Unlawful Use of Personal Identifying Information is a court order issued by a judge in California that prohibits the defendant from engaging in certain activities related to identity theft or other misuse of personal identifying information of another person. The activities that are prohibited under this order include obtaining, possessing, using, or transferring any documents, credit cards, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, bank accounts, or other information that can be used to assume the identity of another person. The order also prohibits the defendant from using any of this information to fraudulently obtain goods, services, credit, or money. There are two types of California Order on Unlawful Use of Personal Identifying Information: Permanent Orders and Temporary Orders. Permanent Orders last for up to 10 years, while Temporary Orders last for up to 6 months. In either case, the order is enforced by the court and may be accompanied by other penalties, such as fines or jail time.
