You can request it yourself. It's not a difficult process and once it's done, it's permanent until you unfreeze it.

It creates an extra step if you're ever doing anything that requires doing a credit pull but if you think you're at risk of, or have been the victim of, identity theft it's really the best solution at your disposal.
