How do I change my identity so I can run from the law?

If you can establish a mailing address under a false name, and if you can get something as simple as a fake drivers license that matches your false name, you can open a bank account in that name. That would be the first step in creating a new identity. If you could also get a fake birth certificate, you could get a real social security number under that false name, or better yet, if you could steal someone's identity, you would be gold - you are what your ID says you are, the only real link to your old life is your fingerprints, and you don't get fingerprinted for jobs, unless you work in a few select industries such as banking.

You probably have to go to the court house. You birth certificate has your mothers last name. So thats the name you need to give them. They will prob be able to find it that way. Not with the last name you have now. I'd go to the court house and ask them what you need. I would take in your drivers liscense for ID and your soc security card. They will prob ask for them. Good luck!

Each state has slightly different procedures for legal name changes. The basics involve filling out a form, submitting it to the court, paying a fee, and sometimes publishing the court's final declaration in a newspaper. You probably won't need a lawyer, just a lot of patience.\n\nMany state agencies and legal groups publish name-change information and forms online. Searching on "name change" plus your state should turn up local details.\n\nJust what can you legally change your name to? Almost anything, as long as you're not doing so with fraudulent intent, such as changing your name to evade a crime. Also, your new name can't interfere with the rights (including copyright) of others, so you can't be Tom Cruise or R2D2. You can't name yourself a numeral or punctuation symbol. Racial slurs or threatening or obscene words aren't allowed either. Otherwise, you're free to be John Smith, John Doe, or John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, if you want.

You are limited to one legal name that you can use for official purposes. But, you can change your name at any time so long as you can prove that you are not doing this to avoid debts, prosecution, or for some other illegal purpose. The cost to do this is fairly inexpensive, about $100 to do all the leg work yourself, and up to $1,200 if you have a lawyer do it.\n\nIt is also perfectly legal to change your first or last name unofficially and go by another name or alias, again so long as you are not doing this for illegal purposes. But, you can not possess two drivers licenses or social security cards with two different names on them.

You're going to have to lay hands on your birth certificate. You'll have to take that to the DMV first, and get a lisense/ID, because you have to have a picture ID to get a new SS card.

You should contact INS for specifics on how to do that. Or you could even ask a local court cler, for a start. It's good that you are being honest and that you are looking for the proper way to become legal. Congrats on your wedding!

I don't think you can though. Call your local Police force, and tell them this. They can definately get a name.

Go to the Court House and file a petition for name change.  They will do a criminal background check and other background checks.  Then a court justices will evaluate a name change.

I am in the process right now. Go to the courthouse in downtown fort worth (The old one with the clock on it) and go to the Law Library and you can copy the pages right out of the book for 20 cents a copy and fill them in yourself. Very easy and waaay cheaper than going thru an attorney.You also have to get a fingerprint card. The card is $10.00 and the name change fee (court fee is $209.00) that's the cheapest I've found.

1) go to police and get report.\n2) take report to social security office. Get print out of ss#  and have it certified by the ss office. Get new card in mail in 10 days or so. Must know father name, mother maiden name, D.O.B. and city born in. Helps if you know your S.S.# as well.\n3)take/send copy of printout to birth certificate office and get copy of order for replacement  B.C. stamped certified. Get new one in mail in 2-4 weeks.\n4)go to drivers license office get new license or I.D. by showing police report, S.S. document and B.C. document.\nGet any friends, relatives, work peers/supervisors to write statements as to their PERSONALLY knowing you and have them get them NOTARIZED.\nAny copies of documents must be stamped as certified copies and some other documents need to be notarized.\nBOL\n\nP.S.\nOnce you have all the documents, new and copies of, make copies of them and keep them safe. You'll have a better time, next time, if this should happen again.\n\nPersonal experience.

I would say calling the police would be the first step rather than changing your name.

You can go to your local police station and for a small fee they will give you that information. Make sure you take id with you. If you have any criminal record make sure you get it all cleared up before going to another country. They will hold it against you and you could end up in a nasty jail somewhere. I hope this has helped.

Fot this you need to go to court and have a hearing as to why you want your name changed. If your reason is good, without some kind of criminal intent, or to get away from crediters, the judge will order the name change.\n\nI suggest checking with an attorney or legal aid for advice on the matter.

You can request a copy of your birth certificate through the authority who issues them in Manitoba. I suggest that you contact your local police agency and ask for their help in reestablishing identity. They can tell you where you need to go and who you need to speak with.
