People don't seem to realize how much things have changed on this front. Facebook now uses a whole lot of techniques to monitor new accounts, important aspects of which are that you post things, add realistic (and connected) friends, etc. If your new account does not do those things it will be locked and you will be asked to provide government ID to prove it is really you.

- chmod775 6y agoSo far I haven't been asked for ID on any account, since my fake account is quite well connected with other (fake) accounts. On certain pertinent internet forums you will find threads regularly where people are connecting with other's made-up accounts. They're pretty much indistinguishable from real accounts, so unless Facebook starts implementing an ID requirement for all accounts, they'll never be able to stop this. And even then determined people could be sending in fake IDs. My recommendation for creating a fake account is, once you have seeded it with a few friends, just add most people facebook recommends you. Plenty of real people (the 900 friends facebook addicts) do this as well.
