Identity creation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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)
- In order to place law enforcement personnel or secret agents in deep cover.
- In order to commit fraud.
It differs from identity theft in that the new identity is not one previously existing.
