Changing Your Identity: A Guide

Many people today feel the need to change some aspect of their identities. You might want to reinvent yourself entirely with a new identity, whether you’re moving to a new city or wanting to leave behind old acquaintances.

Find a New Place to Live

Changing your address is one of the first steps in creating a new identity. Ideally, move to a different city. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you can avoid government monitoring by staying in your current neighbourhood.

Avoid moving frequently in a short time, as it will raise red flags. To avoid suspicion, stay in the same neighbourhood for at least a year after moving. Consistency is key. Provide a convincing reason for your move, and start with small steps.
