It’s not like there are people checking for immortals, I think it would be flagged by a dmv employee or something when they dont believe a clear 21 year old is actually 150. Let’s assume it’s current day im caught and not bring speculation on what the US is like in the year 2139 is like.

    It would be very easy. There are many places where money is all you need. Living in a shithole like the USA is the last place you want to be. Go anywhere you find Russian oligarchs or their kids. There are many micro nations that would gladly let anyone print any name they would like for a fee.

      Calling the US a “shit hole” because it’s hard to commit identity theft is odd.

        Yeah, there isn’t even a need to move if you are American. Just start a religion based on your immortality, run for elected office, and then the whole system will be so confused that they’ll let you thrive as an immortal deity forever.

          I don’t think there’s a way to commit identity theft in this hypothetical that would work. Being immortal would mean it had to work in the long run, or at least a few decades until you can do it again. Someone will notice eventually. You can call it “people being stupid about it”, but a mistake will happen if you wait long enough.

            And that mistake gets more and more likely over time. An immortal would have had a much easier time 100 years ago. Even much more recently my first drivers license was paper where i was able to change my age with a pen (probably helped that it only had to fool bartenders). Now you leave a trail everywhere
