VANCOUVER, BC — In an increasingly interconnected world where digital footprints, surveillance systems, and state registries leave few places to hide, survivors of domestic violence and political persecution often face an insurmountable challenge: escaping their past. 

Amicus International Consulting, a world leader in lawful identity solutions, is offering a way forward—a new life through legal identity change.

From whistleblowers under threat of imprisonment to domestic abuse survivors fleeing stalkers, Amicus provides verified, lawful methods of changing legal identities, securing second citizenships, and establishing safe, independent futures. 

These services are not based on deception or evasion, but on legal structures that respect international law and individual dignity.

Identity as Survival: The Urgent Need for Legal Protection

For individuals escaping violence, persecution, or totalitarian oversight, their identity often becomes the most significant risk factor. A name, a passport, a national registry entry—all can lead predators or governments directly to them.

“Whether it’s a journalist evading political assassination or a mother fleeing a violent ex-partner, the ability to become legally invisible is no longer optional—it’s lifesaving,” said an Amicus representative.

Amicus International responds to this growing global demand with a program rooted in legality, discretion, and comprehensive personal protection.

Case Study 1: From Targeted Journalist to Global Citizen

In 2020, a journalist in East Africa published a series of exposés on government corruption and military abuses. After surviving an assassination attempt, she was placed on a no-fly list and branded a traitor. Her movements were tracked, and her bank accounts were frozen.

Amicus International developed a legal strategy to acquire second citizenship in Dominica through its humanitarian investment route. Through discreet partnerships with international law firms, Amicus coordinated a legal name change and aligned biometric records under her new identity. Today, she works with press freedom NGOs in Europe and travels freely on a valid, sovereign passport.

The Amicus Approach: Lawful, Ethical, Untraceable

While many online vendors promise “new lives” through fake passports or identity forgeries, Amicus International only uses official, government-recognized systems. Its services include:

  • Legal name change in compliant jurisdictions
  • Second citizenship or residency through government programs
  • Biometric record realignment
  • New birth certificates and TINs (Tax Identification Numbers)
  • Banking and residency infrastructure support
  • Digital identity cleansing and firewall creation

A team of legal experts, digital privacy professionals, and geopolitical risk analysts manages each client’s case.

“Survivors don’t need more danger—they need certainty,” said an Amicus employee. “We give them a legal identity that stands up in any court, at any border, and under any audit.”

Case Study 2: A Domestic Violence Survivor Finds Safety Abroad

A Canadian woman endured years of domestic violence before finally escaping her abuser. But after being doxxed online and followed across provinces, she realized that restraining orders and address changes weren’t enough.

Amicus helped her undergo a legal name change in a separate Commonwealth jurisdiction. She obtained second citizenship in Saint Lucia, established a new digital presence, and relocated to a secure location in Europe. She now works remotely and volunteers for organizations helping other women flee abusive relationships.

Her new identity was not a lie—it was a shield.

The Global Crisis: Why Identity Transformation Is Now a Human Rights Issue

According to the United Nations, over 71 million people globally are displaced by conflict, and 1 in 3 women experiences physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime. Many face persecution for their sexual orientation, religion, political views, or gender identity.

Amicus has responded to cases in:

  • Afghanistan and Iran (targeting LGBTQ+ and female professionals)
  • Russia and Belarus (political protesters and journalists)
  • Central America (gang violence survivors and whistleblowers)
  • China (ethnic minorities and anti-regime activists)
  • United States and Canada (domestic abuse victims under surveillance)

What all these clients have in common is a need for legitimacy. A legal name, a passport, and a new beginning that can’t be traced back through traditional databases or public records.

Case Study 3: Whistleblower from the Intelligence Community

An intelligence contractor in a Latin American country leaked evidence of extrajudicial killings. Labelled a traitor and placed on a federal watchlist, his wife and teenage daughter were forced into hiding. Local media exposed his details, leading to threats and attempted abductions.

Amicus International facilitated the family’s second citizenship through a Caribbean nation and built a comprehensive digital firewall, removing their names from major data brokers and online archives. Today, they live under new identities in the Pacific and remain outside extradition risk zones.

More Than a Document—A New Foundation

Every Amicus identity transformation includes:

  • Verified new passport and national ID
  • Name change records registered through the courts
  • Digital footprint cleansing (social media, email, and public databases)
  • Biometric obfuscation techniques to defeat facial recognition
  • Secure housing, schooling, and financial access in a new jurisdiction
  • Trusted relocation logistics with verified partners

Amicus also provides ongoing legal consultation, allowing clients to maintain dual compliance and avoid risks of dual taxation or visa violations.

Case Study 4: LGBTQ+ Couple Escapes Criminalization

In 2023, a same-sex couple from a Southeast Asian nation faced arrest under anti-LGBTQ laws after a private photo leak. Public exposure triggered job loss, surveillance, and police harassment.

Amicus arranged legal name changes, obtained Vanuatu citizenship for both partners, and provided encrypted housing and bank account setups. They now reside in a Schengen country, where they legally married and continued their careers remotely, safe and free for the first time in years.

Case Study 5: Academic Blacklisted for Free Speech

A university professor in Eastern Europe was terminated and blocked for publishing papers critical of the ruling regime’s censorship laws. After border officials intercepted his emails and confiscated his passport, he became effectively stateless.

Amicus helped him obtain citizenship in Turkey via its investment program, legally changed his name, and rebuilt his credentials under the new identity. He now teaches online courses and has regained control of his voice and safety.

Legal Doesn’t Mean Slow—Amicus Offers Swift, Secure Services

While compliance and documentation take time, Amicus accelerates the process with a streamlined team structure:

  • Legal Liaison Officers handle case filings and applications.
  • Security Advisors design relocation and protection strategies.
  • Data Protection Teams erase or neutralize digital risk points.
  • Country Experts ensure seamless integration into new societies.

Citizenship and identity transformations can be completed in as little as 90 days, depending on the program and client history.

Rebuilding with Dignity and Legality

Amicus International rejects the idea that reinvention must happen in the shadows. Everyone deserves the chance to start over safely, lawfully, and without fear of being hunted by their past.

“Changing your identity doesn’t erase your story—it gives you a chance to finish it on your terms,” said an Amicus spokesperson. “For survivors, that’s the difference between living and merely surviving.”
