It is rare relative to stolen credit cards. But I wouldn't call in excess of 700,000 cases/year to be "hardly ever". See https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/v

  That 700k is not referring to someone actually assuming someone elses identity. A tiny fraction of them might be, but tax return fraud or unemployment fraud seem like far more likely options.
