change your identity - change to a new identity without fake ID

Paper Tripping

Last Update Jan 2, 2012

I just don't understand it! Why is it that so many people are still fascinated by the tired old paper tripping system? This dangerous and outdated approach should have vanished way back in the 1980s but we still get hundreds of emails each year asking for advice on how to use the paper tripping system.

Under this overused system you obtain a new identity by resurrecting and assuming the identity of a dead infant. You wander around a cemetery until you find the grave of a dead infant of the same race, gender and sex as yourself who was born around the same time you were and never lived long enough to file for a social security number.

Then, using the information on the gravestone, you apply for and obtain the dead infant's birth certificate and resurrect the dead child's identity on paper and assume it as your own.

Unfortunately this simple and strangely appealing system is terribly flawed and for that reason is completely useless.

There's simply no way you can be sure who you will end up sharing your "new" identity with! Remember - there's always the chance that someone else visited that same gravestone before - or after you.

One young man we know attempted to create a new identity using paper tripping and ran into serious problems the very first time he attempted to use his new persona.

He quietly checked into a motel only to have a dozen police banging on his door ten minutes later! It seems that he was sharing his new identity with a fugitive cop killer! And since his physical description was somewhat similar to the criminal, he spent two days in jail before he finally was able to convince the law that he wasn't their man.

Another lady friend who tried to live under a dead infant's identity landed in a local jail when she tried to cash a check in one of those storefront instant check-cashing stores. Once again, she was sharing her new identity with a fugitive scam artist who stole millions from a teacher's retirement system. In order to get herself out of jail, she had to spill the beans and reveal all the details of her identity change.

Unfortunately a new identity borrowed from a dead infant can easily be exposed as fraudulent as it will always be linked to other paper trippers by both the name and date of birth. Any police officer will be able to quickly blow your cover as police databases (including the federal NCIC system) are all indexed by both name and date of birth.

Since this approach is a favorite with major criminals and is widely discussed in prisons, there's an excellent chance you'll end up sharing your new identity with a wanted criminal.

While this system had its day, today it's worse than worthless. Unfortunately that fact doesn't stop many of the identity changing guides that are based on paper tripping from being sold on the web.

Don't waste your money on any of the books sold on the internet that promise to provide you with a new identity using this dangerous and outdated system. One very popular "paper tripping" book was written way back in 1973 - but is still a best-seller online! Virtually nothing it contains is of any use in our modern computer age.

The best approach by far is to obtain a full set of genuine identity documents in an entirely new name though official channels.
