Identity creation
{{expand}}

'''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]] program]]s. (such as the [[United States Federal Witness Protection Program]])
*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.
