WHO ARE YOU- Faking School Records & Other Supporting ID

Easily fabricated, school records can be valuable supporting documentation, adding heft to a "Virtual Self." To get a general idea what old transcripts and records look like, obtain your own from the school you personally attended.
Here's a piece of devious thinking: If a circumstance presented itself where your school records no longer existed, nothing you represented as being "yours" could be disproven, right? So one might be inclined to look for a situation where a high school was destroyed since your purported year of graduation. Googling "school fire," "schools destroyed by fire" or some other variant will unearth many possibilities.(Community High School in Westwood New Jersey is an example, as long as your year of graduation was prior to 1998.) If you're claiming to be from the Midwest, that's tornado country. Twisters always seem to head straight for local schools after they've had their way with the trailer parks. Or so it seems...
You could also select a school from a district that, since your year of graduation, has ceased to exist or has merged with a neighboring system. Although all records should have been transferred, you could plausibly claim that those of a Virtual Self must have gotten lost in the shuffle.

  • LIBRARY CARD
    This worthwhile piece of secondary ID can usually be obtained without a photo identification. In my town at least, a utility bill in your name will work fine. If you need to actually check out books-- especially controversial ones-- always use a "Virtual You" library card that can't be traced back to Person of Record.

  • BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATES
    While a baptismal certificate might get you past a landlord, it doesn't carry much weight with officialdom, despite the claims of outdated "new identity" books. Neither the DMV nor Social Security will accept one for identification purposes. Still, you'll find some impressive-looking ones on the Internet.
    In some locales, especially the south, a family bible serves as supporting documentation. In the days before birth and death certificates, family arrivals and departures were recorded here. Old family bibles can be purchased in used bookstores or on e-bay, and there's probably room for Elmer's name. But if you decide to take a pass on this one due to the borderline blasphemous overtones, I understand completely.
    If you choose the "spiritual" route, here's another possibility: become an ordained minister. The Universal Life Church will ordain anybody, on-line and for free, no ID required. They make their money by selling certificates, identity cards and so forth. Need we say more?

  • PERSONALIZED CLOTHING
    Monogrammed sweaters, work shorts and jackets emblazoned with the name of a Virtual Self can serve as psychologically powerful supporting ID. If you're trying to pass yourself off as "Elmer Fudd" but have spotty paperwork, wearing a golf shirt with "Fudd" emblazoned over the pocket adds credibility. In a thrift shop, I once spotted a bunch of khaki oxford shirts sporting the logo of a major local bank. I had a seamstress embroider the names of some virtual selves on the opposite side. Very effective. Even a work name tag can go a long way towards establishing identity. In a low-impact encounter where you’re passing yourself off as Elmer Fudd, a personalized badge pinned to a golf shirt makes it appear as if you just got off work.
