Florida law provides enhanced protection for minors. Fraudulently using the identity of a person under the age of 18 is typically classified as a second-degree felony, regardless of the amount of money involved. This carries a potential sentence of up to 15 years in prison. The state views these crimes severely because identity theft can ruin a minor's credit before they even reach adulthood.
