How do I get a copy of my credit report while I’m incarcerated?

You must mail in a request for your free credit report to the following address:

Annual Credit Report Request Service
PO Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348

Include your full name, date of birth, Social Security Number and any addresses used in the last two years in a letter stating that you are requesting a free credit report. To find out how to obtain your Social Security Number, see PG. 38.

NOTE: When this guide refers to background checks or background check reports, it means information about your criminal history (and certain other personal information)—but NOT your credit report. For more information about your rights related to credit reports, here are some additional resources:
