Common Mistakes Made by New Identity Seekers

Know Who You Are
Clerks in drivers license bureaus have a neat little trick that you should be aware of. When you hand them your birth certificate, they hold it aside where you can’t see it and then ask you to recite your full name, the names of your parents and their birth dates. Most normal people have this information memorized. People who submit phony documents often fail this test. Be aware of this sneaky ploy and make like a boyscout - Be Prepared!

Rushing the Process
Many people get excited about creating a new identity and so are extremely eager to get started. But be assured that the creation of a solid new identity that will stand up to close scrutiny requires considerable planning. Hurrying the process will only cause you grief in the long run.

The Too-Perfect Document
When forging a document for a temporary identity whether it’s a birth certificate, a baptismal certificate or whatever, keep in mind that genuine documents are seldom absolutely perfect. If your document looks too clean and pretty, it could actually go against you. Most genuine birth certificates have numerous flaws including ink blotches, (they’re copies so that should be expected), dog-eared corners and permanent creases where they've been folded and refolded over the years. If your document looks too good to be true, rough it up a bit, fold it a couple of hundred times, crunch a corner and do whatever it takes to make it look suitably old. Our report includes detailed explanations of several effective methods for artificially aging any paper document.

Leave Genealogy to the Genealogists
When requesting birth and death certificates, never ever say that you’re requesting the documents for “family research” purposes. Ask any real Genealogist and they’ll tell you that getting a birth certificate that way can take up to three months. Instead use an excuse that requires swift action. It's not all that difficult to get priority handling if you try.

Mixing Typefaces/Fonts
This is probably the most common mistake beginners make. Most novice forgers will mask out some but not all of the original typewritten information on a genuine document. They then proceed to type in new personal information on the copy. While it may look great to a novice, those trained in spotting forged documents will instantly notice the mistake. In order for your document to be of any practical use the typeface must be uniform throughout the entire document.

Using Modern Typefaces
The modern electric typewriter didn’t come into common use until the early 1960s. If you’re forging a document that's supposed to be from before that period, you’ll need an older typewriter that types unevenly like old typewriters used to do. Again, a trained observer will easily spot this flaw. Always use the right typewriter for the period.

Bragging or taking someone into your confidence
This is probably the single most important problem you'll face. After you’ve created your new identity - keep it a complete secret. Trust no one! You may be tempted to brag a bit about your accomplishment, and that’s understandable. But don’t give in to the temptation! It’s the quickest route to “blowing your cover.” Sharing your little secret is a dangerous thing to do as anyone who knows will have an extraordinary degree of power over you as they’ll easily be able to expose you. You simply cannot relax and be secure in your new life unless it's a complete secret.

Carrying Around Dual Identity Documents
Carrying around fake ID documents in your old name is just plain foolish. Many law enforcement types now routinely go through the wallet or purse of those that fall into their hands. And if they find two sets of ID, they'll jump to the conclusion that you're a wanted criminal. Get rid of your old identity documents. Dump them in a safety deposit box or stash them behind your Grandmother’s freezer in the basement. Whatever you do, don’t carry anything with you that links you back to your old identity. Just having ID documents on you in multiple names can get you arrested in some cities. It would also be best to carefully examine your place of residence to be sure there's nothing lying around that would blow your cover. This is particularly important when you go to apply for your drivers license. Be absolutely sure that your wallet or purse is totally free of anything with your old name on it.

Keeping Old Magazine Subscriptions
A quick but important story: The police offered a private investigator a $50,000 cash reward if he could locate a particular fugitive from justice. The investigator asked what the wanted man did for a living. The police replied that the wanted man was an architect. The investigator then called the offices of a trade publication that almost all architects subscribe to, said that he was getting married and was looking for an old architect friend that he wanted to invite to the wedding. He got the fugitive’s new address in less than two minutes! The stunned police arrested the criminal and the PI went home with a check for 50 grand for two minute’s work! Never transfer your records from one name to another. It creates a public and permanent link between the old you and the new you. Instead, let old subscriptions lapse and then subscribe later using your new name and address.

Leaving Bad Debts Behind
Many people who are forced to abandon an old identity get greedy and run up their credit card debt or even report themselves dead and then have a relative collect on their life insurance. This is both foolish and completely illegal! Do you really want the most experienced investigators in the country hot on your trail? And don't think for a minute that these guys are going to give up after a few months. If they sense fraud or there are big bucks involved, they'll be out there looking for you for a decade or even longer.

It’s a simple fact that no matter how hard you try to eliminate links between your old self and your new self, you'll never be able to create your new identity without leaving behind at least a few subtle ties. And a good investigator knows just where to look and who to pump for information. Believe me, walking away from a debt-free identity is the only way to go. It minimizes the number of people looking for you.

One lady had her location and new identity completely exposed when a phone company bill collector found her. And the oustanding bill was for only thirty bucks! A new identity can only be truly secure if you've done everything you can to reduce the number of people searching for you.
