eli5: How do the cops/FBI help someone create a whole new identity?

158 views

How does this work? Like do they help them get all the paperwork done? Or like, do they create a fictitious history for them? Because I would imagine having any trace of their old identity with credit history etc could put them in danger if the people they testified against etc. happened to come across them.

To add to what others have already said, people will believe you when you tell them your name is John Smith, why wouldn’t they? The rest is paperwork.
