Have you ever wanted to change your identity and just drop everything and start over somewhere else?

Yes, I do know how it can be done.Several ways.

One is.... I know a guy, I know a guy....

You can buy some fake ID's near the Mexican border,both sides. Plus they are available in many immigrant communities in the US but be warned, that can be dangerous and they ID may not hold up to scrutiny.

You can search some out-of-the-way counties records for a death of a baby close to your age, get a copy of the birth certificate and apply for a social security card, then drivers license, followed by credit cards and then a passport. You pick a county that is so out there they are either not computerized or the old records from long ago are not added to the computer records. This way the name will not show up on social security records as being listed to a deceased person

That is almost fool-proof but you will also need a reason why you never applied for the ID's before now. Claim to have been a shut in of your parents who recently passed on. Now you are making your own way in the world.

Actually our family did have to do about that for 5 years...now we're okay.

If someone really didn't want to be found, the #1 place to hide out is New York City...there are too many people there for an individual to be easily found. (Also, there are far more 'under-the-table' jobs there, where one would not be tracked by one's social security number).

My friend's son was threatened with jail time (though a minor). He purchased a NY phony ID for only $5 (but it did NOT scan). He went out there for a few months and worked...but wound up coming back, and was caught within a day...and did spend some months in adult county jail.

Wouldn't be something I would like to do, because I would always know the truth who I am really are. Must be kind of hard to have inner peace, when you know, you are not who you really are.

You still could start over again, without having your identity changed.

I've done it Cavey, not changing my ID and all that but I have gone far away to start over and you know what?

I woke every day the same old person no matter how hard I tried to be something different.

Word to the wise or whatever.

Yeah, Sometimes

Yes! So many times.

Tijuana maybe? How about Argentina? But Antarctica is still the best.

Yes I have, and did everything except change my name, and my past has never caught up with me.

If it does now it will no longer matter.

I did. I'm where I want to be now. It took guts to get out of the life I was in and move where my heart has been.

Yes, I've thought about that. I don't think I could go threw with it though. It's not something easy you can just go and do.
