Identity creation
'''Identity creation''' is the process of creating a new personal identity or alias for an existing person.

It is commonly employed:

*As part of witness protection programs.
*In order to place [[secret agent]]s in deep cover.
*In order to commit [[fraud]].

It differs from [[identity theft]] in that the new identity is not one previously existing.
