Washing Identities Options

[Polaris]

Guys,

I have an honest question about something that is IMHO very poorly explained in the rules at best and at worst is actually contrary to both common sense and real life practice.

Specifically, what happens if you want to change/alter/hide your identity? Obviously you start by arranging to change your appearence (including magical signature if appropriate) and by burning any connection to your past life. You also (carefully) need to get a new (false) SIN.

That much seems clear, but here's the tricky part.

Technically by the rules, even the best false Identity money can buy will quickly become useless since each attempt at verification allows a chance (no matter how small) that the transaction will fail.

While this makes sense for the first few transactions, that seems contrary to everything I know and have read about washing your identity or (for that matter) with regard to identity theft. From what I have read you want to make as many "easy" transactions as possible with your new identity....including making retnal purchases, liscenses, shopping, bank accounts, etc etc.

The reason for that is because the longer you "live" in your new identity, the more real it becomes because you have real, valid, and verifiable data that makes the identity more genuine. AFAIK this is Identity-Theft 101. This includes paying Taxes btw on your new identity.

How is this represented in the rule set? If it isn't represented in the rules, how should it be? It seems to me that if you start with a good solid fake SIN (say rating 8 which should be enough to fool even the branch office of a bank), it should be reasonable easy to make the rating increase with time as more and more valid transactions are made on it.

Thoughts?
