I looked around and was only able to find that Witness Protection offers a name change, with a lot of the service being relocation under that new name. I'd be curious to see if they go beyond a simple name change and issue, for example, a new SSN and birth certificate.
- bonzini 6y agoConsidering the security nonsense that SSNs are (essentially using a username as a password) they really should be replacing at least that one.
- octoberfranklin 6y agoYes, they do issue you a new SSN. In fact federal witness protection is just about the only entity that can change someone's SSN outside of the other two exceptions: (a) it contained the digits "666" or (b) it was issued consecutively with that of a relative. Both (a) and (b) are vanishingly rare nowadays.
