Revision 893504593 of "Identity creation" on enwiki

{{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:

*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]]d.
*By [[Fugitive|fugitives]].
It differs from [[identity theft]] in that the new identity is not one previously existing.
