Identity creation
{{Unreferenced|date=April 2007}}
'''Identity creation''' is the process of creating a new personal identity or alias for an existing person.

It is commonly employed:

*With a [[Birth|birth]] of a natural person.
*When registering a new [[Customer relationship management|customer]].
* In case of [[multiple citizenship]]⏎
*As part of [[witness protection]] program (such as the [[United States Federal Witness Protection Program]])
*To protect people having risk of being murdered for other reasons, such as [[honor killing]].
*In order to place [[undercover|law enforcement personnel]] or [[secret agent]]s in deep cover.
*In order to commit [[fraud]].
*By [[Fugitive|fugitives]].
It differs from [[identity theft]] in that the new identity is not one previously existing.
