Undead Tax Exemption	comment	When a masquerade of an extranormal person (whether spirit, time traveler, dimension-hopper, Robot Girl or in some cases, immortal) is able to suddenly enter society and seamlessly pose as a normal human despite the major record gaps, lack of official citizenship, or other problems that would arise if it were to occur in real life. Space aliens in disguise and even aliens that don't need a disguise never seem to get the same problems with immigration that regular aliens have. The character gets an Undead Tax Exemption. It's often implied they use mind control or magic to either brainwash or literally "magic up" an identity for themselves. It's usually used by evil characters/monsters/vampires because Villains Blend in Better while heroic ones will be a Fish out of Water due to Rule of Drama. It is easiest for The Needless, since by definition they don't need the benefits of society. If one doesn't have to have money for food, clothing, or shelter, detection is not likely. It can occur when the character is not extranormal but a sleeper government agent. Other mundane means to set up a fake ID usually involve getting a friendly (or bribable) hacker to set up a false identity, or impersonating someone else. A Monsters Anonymous group may have the resources to make one from scratch as well. Where this is a situation of an immortal or special who has to fashion the normal identity afterward, the reverse, where the normal person came first then had something happen, results in a Secret Identity and likely several Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now? moments. Most of the time, this trope is dismissed with a handwave and covered by the Willing Suspension of Disbelief. If not, you may have a case of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome. The Doylist explanation for this trope is that watching someone fill out paperwork is boring in real life, so it would be just as boring in fiction; it's just assumed to have happened or isn't explained with the expectation that a viewer isn't supposed to ask that kind of question. Historically this can be a justified trope. Prior to the twentieth-century, records tended to be sparse, difficult to retrieve, and even more difficult to verify. Without some overriding need justifying such efforts or a dissenting witness, identities and origins had to be taken at face value. If a character has been around for this time passing themself off as a descendant and then 'dying' and inheriting it several times see My Grandson, Myself. (Note this has its own logistical issues.) See also Casual Car Giveaway, which is another situation where ordinarily expected paperwork is unnecessary. See Fantastic Legal Weirdness for other instances of speculative fiction elements having legal ramifications.

Demons incarnate when a person dies with few enough witnesses, while angels incarnate in very pious people who donate their body. Archangels' (and demon princes') Avatars just pop into existence, but they vanish within a few minutes so it's not a problem either.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_17024c6d	comment	Jarod of The Pretender presumably has to forge any and all documentation he uses to establish himself in each new identity. Only rarely does this come up in the series — for example, when he's working as a paramedic and a hospital bureaucrat complains that he can't get ahold of Jarod's tax forms. It is alluded to in the series that his personas are temporary at best and would not stand closer scrutiny. He only has to pass the initial check, find what he is looking for and then leave. He does his research in a very low key position and only then assumes the high profile persona needed to accomplish his mission. Once he 'saves the day' he has to leave really quick before he is stopped or the bad guys find him.

In a tale written by Alfred Bester, the Shadow encountered a caveman who gained immunity to aging from a meteor. This caveman decided to aid the Axis in winning World War II by sabotaging the US war effort. He sought the position of War Labor Chief of the country, but since he did not have a birth certificate, he stole Moe Shrevnitz's birth certificate, bringing him in conflict with the Shadow (the caveman had earlier attempted to buy some business interests from Lamont Cranston, and displayed unusual personal knowledge about Cranston).

Simply put, the Continuum (an organization of time travelers) ensures that time travelers moving far from home undergo extensive preparation. It's not just identification and documentation; they have to even practice the correct forms of speaking a language when they move up and down in time. Imagine you could travel time, and you had to ensure your speech pattern was period accurate to 1850 before you took a trip there. Fortunately, the Continuum actually trains its members and does the due diligence for such projects.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_2212773a	comment	Angel From the pilot episode, wealthy vampire Russel Winters has an identity, owns property, pays his taxes, and seems to run a business with meetings in the day (the windows are a special kind of glass that block the harmful part of the sun's rays; he presumably is driven around in cars with the same glass). He's a client of Wolfram & Hart, so they probably helped him get a lot of the documentation. He and his lawyer learn that absolutely none of this prevents Angel from simply walking into his office and throwing him out the window. Spike and Angel himself both having learned to drive (and Angel holding a driving license). Angel successfully rents property in LA — how many estate agents do you know will send someone out after dark to arrange a lease? This is lampshaded in one episode where someone asks Angel how he can order stuff over the Internet. Fred explains how to hack a company's computer system and steal whatever you want. Angel says he just memorized Cordy's credit card number. Fred spent a few years in a Hell dimension. Afterward, she lives in the Hyperion and gets all her resources from Angel and co, so legal documents are not necessary. Kate comments in one episode about how real detectives have licenses and surnames. They don't into the details of how Angel acquired his first place in L.A, but the team consulted a millionaire who owed them a big favor for financial advice when they decided to take over the Hyperion Hotel. The deliberately Obstructive Bureaucrat Gavin Park quickly recognizes that they can shut Angel Investigations down simply by pointing out Angel's ID issues to the government. Just to spite Gavin, Lilah gets Angel all the documents he needs. Humorously lampshaded in "The Girl in Question", when Spike's rant reveals that the Immortal had him thrown in prison for tax evasion.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_2547d61f	comment	This is addressed on White Collar. Neal Caffrey is a conman who regularly uses fake identities. However, he is fully aware that even his best identities cannot survive a thorough investigation. When he considers breaking his parole and fleeing the country, he is referred to a master forger who spent decades creating a set of 'perfect identities'. The man registered a number of fake births with the government and over the years he created fake school, medical and employment records for his 'kids'. He planted those records all over the country in government archives. He made sure that the identities had credit histories and that they all paid their taxes on time. Anyone doing a background check would have to do a very thorough in-person investigation to discover that these people never existed. For obvious reasons, the forger is asking a lot of money for one of these identities. In general, the series presents fake identities only working until someone starts taking a closer look at you. Once the FBI starts investigating, it does not take them long to spot the tell-tale signs of a fake identity.

At the very least, he hangs out at the school for a few scenes, tells George "you weren't at school today" and goes to the High-School Dance. The movie is rather vague on the point of whether or not he was officially enrolled, probably to avoid drawing attention to this very problem. Doc Brown nods to the trope a little by having a collection of money from various eras. Imagine spending 2009 money in 1999, or worse, 1989.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist An aversion to this trope is speculated by fans to be the reason that Ed and Al's mother and father never officially married in the manga and second anime version, making both Ed and Al Heroic Bastards. Hohenheim is a living, immortal philosopher's stone who is centuries old and probably has no official records, and so Ed and Al had their mother's surname to avoid being associated with him and tracked down by Father, who would use them in his plans. The trope is averted in the 2003 anime, meanwhile, as Hohenheim there was a Body Surfer and probably 'inherited' all the relevant paperwork from the person whose body he took. He still never married Trisha, but the implication is that in this version it has more to do with his psycho-ex wife Dante, who like Father would try to track them down.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_39c20861	comment	The Highlander TV series deals with this a few times, although the exact treatment seems to vary Depending on the Writer, or maybe depending on the plot of an episode. Presumably most or all immortals have to do this in modern society, and do so successfully (perhaps relying on black market sources and fraud/forgery of official documents). Some even manage it despite very public deaths (most notable are a guy who made a circus act out of the fact that he couldn't be killed, and Richie, Duncan's sidekick, who had become a professional motorcycle racer and died on the track). Mostly, this is treated as little more than a bother and having to leave town for a while, but a few times there have been attempts at justifications, such as Duncan complaining about how hard it is to forge/alter records and documentation for his friend Hugh Fitzcairn, who has not adapted well to new technology like computers. Another episode played with the trope: when a friend of Duncan's shows up on his doorstep with police right behind her she claims it was because she was in the same hotel as a VIP that was killed and afterward the police had realized that her paperwork didn't check out and have been following her since. The truth is that, haunted by her failure to assassinate Hitler and potentially save many lives, she has taken it upon herself to go around assassinating would-be dictators and those who spark off hate crimes so that the world will never go through that again.

Heinlein, the problems with getting an Undead Tax Exemption are mentioned as one reason why the long-lived Howard Family members are attempting to see if they can end their masquerade. In Time Enough for Love, it's shown that their descendants throughout the centuries continue to come up with ways to hide the fact that they're much longer-lived than their fellow humans. The records of their genealogy, however, are fastidiously maintained in the secret Family files.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Wizards and muggles generally live in two separate societies, but in the times when the two worlds must interact this trope can come into play. Wizard children born to magical parents are presumably never registered to receive birth certificates given wizards' general ignorance of muggle customs, yet Ron receives a driver's license in Deathly Hallows. Muggle-borns could cause problems as well, given that at the age of eleven they suddenly disappear from the muggle society for ten months out of the year. We see an explanation for this in a flashback when Dumbledore comes to recruit Tom Riddle. He initially tries to claim that he's from a private school (which isn't too far off the truth really), but the orphanage director (described by Harry as "inconveniently sharp" ) keeps poking holes in his explanations, so he ultimately just uses a spell that makes her think he has the appropriate paperwork. The Ministry of Magic maintains a staff of "Obliviators", wizards and witches who specialize in memory charms. Usually, their job is to cover up public displays of magic or appearances by magical beings. However, it is quite reasonable to imagine that they also perform the necessary manipulations of muggle authorities to manage children who seemingly drop out of sight. At one point the Ministry even arranges to have the president of a foreign country "forget" to call the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and reschedules for them to do so the following day, thus showing the extent of their reach. It's also possible that getting these kinds of things taken care of is part of the reason the two governments work together at all.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_3be307d1	comment	Tenchi Muyo! in its various forms has this in... er, various forms. The original series seems to have the least amount, although the girls do seem to wander into town every so often with little comment. The manga has Mihoshi getting a driver's license (partly after using her high-tech blaster right in front of a cop), and Ryoko tries her hand at it too. The TV series has Kiyone and Mihoshi renting an apartment and working part-time jobs often. And no-one really seems to mind all the aliens hanging around. And think about Katsuhito in the TV series (in the OAV he landed long enough ago to have avoided modern recordkeeping). The third OAV reveals that "Yosho" has ties to the government, possibly going all the way up to the Emperor. In fact, given the relationship between Earth (Japan) and Jurai, it's pretty easy for aliens to establish any long-term identities they like.

It turns out that he's a vampire trying very hard to conceal his identity. If his secret were to get out, he'd likely be hunted down and killed. His longevity is attributed by the populace to the fact that he is (or has at least cultivated a reputation as) a powerful wizard. Averted in that high-level wizards in the Mages Guild are aware of his status. Instead of owing money, he trades favors to the Mages Guild in exchange for them concealing his secret. Eventually, the Player Character is let in on the secret by Hassildor himself.

His family's work protecting people from ayakashi give his grandpa Seigen the connections to alter Matsuri's enrollment to list him as a girl (and also put him in the same classroom as Suzu). Since Matsuri had almost no social life previously, he can use his Real Name as an Alias, even to classmates he went to the same middle school as. Seigen seems prepared for his grandson to be female permanently, suggesting they could similarly alter all of Matsuri's legal records. The setting's pervasive Weirdness Censor may also help to preserve his cover. Jinyo don't just look like humans, they're able to manipulate regular humans' perceptions to blend in. When Shadow Mei starts attending Suzu's high school as her cousin, most people don't just believe her, they think she was already there.

The only time this is an issue is in Golden where he uses roller blades instead of a motorbike most of the other Investigation Team acquires after getting licenses. He also gets a job at the local superstore Junes thanks to Yosuke being the manager's son, so he can pull strings and arrange a salary, as well as conveniently being the store's new mascot with his bear costume. Marie in Golden somehow is even worse than Teddie in logistic department; with her previously living in a place between conscious and unconscious, even less social skill than the previous attendants of the Velvet Room, without identity and memory, said memory turns out to be a part of Anthropomorphic Personification of mankind's desire shaped like a Japanese Goddess tasked to be the garbage bin for the fog her fellow aspects expelled after they were defeated, and disappeared after you kick said Japanese Goddess' ass in final boss fight. Cue a year later, and she becomes a weather forecaster on TV, a quite famous one at that. Probably justified after the final battle, said Goddess and her aspects fused with Marie, and she gained their powers. When you can do things such as change the weather on a cheerful whim, you likely don't need to worry about little things such as establishing a paper identity.

Throughout the play, he is hounded by an IRS agent for not having paid his income taxes (Martin doesn't believe in it). This plot is resolved when the agent discovers that Martin Vanderhoff has been legally dead for years and therefore cannot owe taxes. Martin Vanderhoff and his family had a man living with them for years whom they never learned the name of (it was impolite to ask after a while), and when he died, they decided to give him Martin's name for the death certificate (since it was such a nice name and all). Thus, according to the government's records, Martin Vanderhoff was dead and therefore exempt from owing taxes.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_65d9acd2	comment	In the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures, aliens grow a human boy in a lab; Sarah Jane's Magical Computer is able to fabricate an identity for him so that Sarah Jane can adopt him. Though not without problems â€” when his "Real" parents (actually evil aliens) turned up to claim him, she had real problems trying to explain why she hadn't gone to the authorities when she found him. At least she realized that "But they can't be his real parents â€” he was constructed by the Bane!" probably wouldn't help her case. Although her UNIT contacts did at least keep her out of prison on a kidnapping charge while things played out.

He faked his death, returning years later posing as his own grandson. Since he's the King he doesn't have to worry about paying taxes, but he is concerned with keeping the truth about his identity secret from his people. He should take a page from Strahd, of Ravenloft fame. Strahd has for almost a dozen generations taken a wife, had a son named Strahd who looks just like him and passed from the world just in time for his adult son to take over his realm. You may wonder why no one catches on, but the peasants do know of the 'Devil Strahd' and perhaps the setting helps him out for its own reasons.

The Railroad see androids as a new race of humans who have even fewer rights than slaves and seek to give them new human identities (and memories), no matter the cost to everyone else. And of course, the Brotherhood of Steel see identity-stealing androids as the ultimate incarnation of the technological abuse of human rights that their charter was created to fight against - and discover that their paragon champion was killed and replaced with a robot years ago.

Despite having several characters show up from another dimension where everyone's a magical talking pony, the pony-turned-human characters rarely seem to hit any snags with paperwork. In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were both able to join a high school without any documentation. Sunset did it before the movie starts, and Twilight just walks onto campus and is assumed to be a new student, even when she talks to the principal, all without proving her identity. In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Rainbow Rocks, the Sirens were also able to join the school. They presumably used their Mind-Control Music to make authority figures look the other way. As seen in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Forgotten Friendship and the shorts "Monday Blues" and "Good Vibes", Sunset Shimmer has both her own apartment and a job as a waitress, despite presumably not having the documentation one would need for either of these. She also is able to legally live on her own, despite apparently being a high school age teenager.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_88b580f0	comment	While not undead, this issue sometimes comes up in Werewolf: The Apocalypse with wolf-born Garou. The game itself doesn't explain what they do if they want to integrate with human society, it's just taken for granted that the other werewolves and their kinfolk (humans born with the gene recessive) forge identities for them, and possibly teach them reading and other basic skills. Considering the Glass Walkers, it's not hard to figure out how they pull it off... Werewolf: The Forsaken has a slight variant. It makes clearer than Apocalypse that werewolves' healing factor means they don't age at the same rate as humanity; a Uratha might look like they're still in their 30s when they're pushing 80. As such, they need to take special steps to keep their paperwork up to date, lest awkwardness ensue when they're called in for a police interview or whatever. Vampire: The Masquerade also touches on it. Between being able to create Ghouls and (depending on the clan) other mind-control powers, most vampires find little intrinsic problem in arranging things. Source material/fluff occasionally mentions both the necessity of ensuring your own Undead Tax Exemption and the effectiveness as a tactic of screwing with your enemies'. However, the fluff (Book of Nod specifically) also says "There will always be Caesar, pay him his due". The notes on that specific line imply that tax evasion is one of the biggest threats to the Masquerade. This is part of why the Ventrue are in charge of the Camarilla; they have all the business and government influence necessary to handle this kind of problem. Changeling: The Lost also takes into account that characters will likely look a little different due to their time in Faerie if they're not presumed dead. There's a Merit called New Identity that runs from 1 dot (a forged driver's license that might pass inspection when you're pulled over) to 4 dots (a well-constructed identity that would take some deep probing by a federal agency to dismantle). The stand-alone sourcebook Immortals has a similar Merit, Alternate Identity, for Blood Bathers and the Purified. Body Thieves have no need of the Merit, for obvious reasons. Promethean subverted this in 1e, but 2e Played It Straight; in the event a Promethean completed its quest to Become a Real Boy, in 1e they were then left with no identification to prove their existence (birth certificate, job history, etc.), not helped by the fact they typically lose their memories of having been a Promethean. In 2e, this was changed so that completing the pilgrimage re-writes history to give them a human life, complete with family, friends, paper trail, and a complete memory of said life (whether they remember their alternate, Promethean life depends on a few factors). From Demon: The Descent, when the God-Machine creates angels under mortal guises, it also provides resources, contacts, background, anything the newly-minted angel needs. Frankly, manufacturing new identity whole cloth is child's play for an entity of such power. Demons will occasionally even try to get a new free Cover by "angel-jacking" - stepping in when the God-Machine weaves a new Cover for an angel sent down to do a mission and punting it out of the way. Deviant: The Renegades has a different take. While most Deviants still have their own identities, they're pursued by Conspiracies that want to get their hands on them, which means maintaining an official identity is an easy way to be traced. This is reflected by how Merits such as Resources have the "Overt" tag, indicating that calling on them makes it easier for a Conspiracy to find them. Most Deviants are said to turn towards dumpster diving, low-paying under-the-table work, or organized crime to get by while trying to avoid the notices of Conspiracies.

There's no Ceihan paperwork to support this but the scenario is plausible enough for Ataidaran paperwork to be created.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_8c5f856b	comment	In Being Human, all the vampires seem to have jobs. For example, Big Bad Herrick is a local policeman, and the vampires' lair is an undertaker. This is justified as vampire society has centuries of experience in hiding in plain sight, and it is implied there are vampires in high places. Also, Annie (a ghost) got a job as a barmaid. This isn't completely impossible, as Annie can (usually) pass for a normal human, and if she gets paid cash in hand, there wouldn't be the fact she's legally as well as biologically dead to worry about. In Season 2, the system starts coming apart after Herrick's death, and Mitchell has to work to cover up for the rest of the vampires. Especially whenever one of them slips and kills someone. In one of the Expanded Universe Books it's revealed that vampires get normal humans to act as body doubles so they can have passport photos. They also use photoshop. Mitchell's Hospital ID badge is taken from a black and white photo he had back when he was alive.

Naturally, this tends to make them suspicious. Of course, this rather blatant ongoing problem is never dealt with by his employers because Tropes Are Tools.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_8ee238c9	comment	Persona: Persona 3: Aigis seems to blend in with society quite well with just a simple wardrobe change, despite being a robot. Being backed by a considerably powerful organization helps justify this. There's Ryoji, who appears out of nowhere as an exchange student. As the Anthropomorphic Personification and Avatar of Death, questions like where he spends his off-school hours and where his transfer records came from are left unanswered. Persona 4: Teddie, who is a being from beyond the TV, also manages to slip into society quite easily (well, at least he looks very human underneath that bear layer), despite lacking any ID, and any attempts at scanning his body with X-rays or similar medical equipment automatically fails. The only time this is an issue is in Golden where he uses roller blades instead of a motorbike most of the other Investigation Team acquires after getting licenses. He also gets a job at the local superstore Junes thanks to Yosuke being the manager's son, so he can pull strings and arrange a salary, as well as conveniently being the store's new mascot with his bear costume. Marie in Golden somehow is even worse than Teddie in logistic department; with her previously living in a place between conscious and unconscious, even less social skill than the previous attendants of the Velvet Room, without identity and memory, said memory turns out to be a part of Anthropomorphic Personification of mankind's desire shaped like a Japanese Goddess tasked to be the garbage bin for the fog her fellow aspects expelled after they were defeated, and disappeared after you kick said Japanese Goddess' ass in final boss fight. Cue a year later, and she becomes a weather forecaster on TV, a quite famous one at that. Probably justified after the final battle, said Goddess and her aspects fused with Marie, and she gained their powers. When you can do things such as change the weather on a cheerful whim, you likely don't need to worry about little things such as establishing a paper identity.

While most Deviants still have their own identities, they're pursued by Conspiracies that want to get their hands on them, which means maintaining an official identity is an easy way to be traced. This is reflected by how Merits such as Resources have the "Overt" tag, indicating that calling on them makes it easier for a Conspiracy to find them. Most Deviants are said to turn towards dumpster diving, low-paying under-the-table work, or organized crime to get by while trying to avoid the notices of Conspiracies.

Sunset Shimmer having no ID, no birth certificate, and no proper records means she ends up living in an abandoned factory and stealing small amounts of food and money to survive. According to a Fourth-Wall Mail Slot, the only reason Sunset was able to attend Canterlot High School was that she faked her records using the computers at the local library. When Sunset graduates high school as salutatorian (meaning she had the second-best grades out of every student in her graduating class), she doesn't apply to colleges, because she knows her lack of school records would be a huge red flag and is trying to maintain The Masquerade about Equestrian magic.

After the collapse of the internet and the re-organization of the old order in the Sixth World, the MegaCorps and remaining nation-states realised they needed a system to deal with the concept of corporate extraterritoriality and mass loss of national IDs following the collapse of the Fifth World, and created the international System Identification Number system instead. Every citizen of every nation has a SIN in their respective home database, tied to their biometrics and purchase history, and every national or corporate database has full access to verify a given SIN (and ancillary information) as valid or not. A black market around counterfeit SINs quickly came into being, and a Player Character can, with the right contacts, pay for someone to insert a fake entry (with an accompanying purchase history, DNA and so on) into the appropriate database and thus create a fake ID that goes with you wherever. A fake SIN is expensive as all heck, but potentially anyone can pretend to be a valid citizen of anywhere else by greasing the right palm in advance.

The revived series tends to rely on the Applied Phlebotinum of the Doctor's "psychic paper", a blank booklet that appears to a reader to be whatever official document they were expecting to see. The "John Smith" alias was adopted for this very reason. Mind you, there's a later scene where some big shot visiting UNIT complained that the file on Doctor John Smith is completely empty. The new series has had various moments where the various undercover aliens' disguises were imperfect enough for regular human journalists to pick up upon them, such as the Master â€” for example, because no one at the university he supposedly went to could recall him. Unfortunately, the villainous alien in question will typically make quick work of anyone who finds them out before the protagonists arrive... Justified with the Master in "The Sound of Drums". He's using mind control to make most people think he's been around for decades. To the 1% of people who are immune to the mind control, his forgery is actually very obvious. In the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures, aliens grow a human boy in a lab; Sarah Jane's Magical Computer is able to fabricate an identity for him so that Sarah Jane can adopt him. Though not without problems â€” when his "Real" parents (actually evil aliens) turned up to claim him, she had real problems trying to explain why she hadn't gone to the authorities when she found him. At least she realized that "But they can't be his real parents â€” he was constructed by the Bane!" probably wouldn't help her case. Although her UNIT contacts did at least keep her out of prison on a kidnapping charge while things played out. Averted in Torchwood, where a young accidental time-traveller is provided with paperwork, gets herself a job and heads off happily to London for her new life.

Angels and demons have to have "Roles" crafted for them to fit into society, get a driver's license, etc. Role creation is an equal mix of metaphysical miracle (a powerful superior convincing the universe that you "belong there") and of having celestials in their own Roles (in the DMV, Social Security Office, etc.) manipulating records to make this possible. In Nomine Satanis / Magna Veritas completely averts the problem by having angels and demons incarnate into an existing person. Demons incarnate when a person dies with few enough witnesses, while angels incarnate in very pious people who donate their body. Archangels' (and demon princes') Avatars just pop into existence, but they vanish within a few minutes so it's not a problem either.

It still doesn't solve the problem of government records, though, in the modern era. Averted with the long-lived caveman who dies in a modern city — when his modern-day son (not aware of his father's secret) starts sorting through his father's possessions, he finds paperwork for multiple alternate identities and funds to take advantage of them, with no explanation available for what kind of double life his father may have been leading. In World's End we see that the immortals take care of one another when they encounter others in trouble (Hob helps out an Indian gentleman who was stowing away on the ship Hob secretly owns), so if there's an immortal of some sort working in an influential position, they probably give the others a helping hand in getting proper documents.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_dcdb5ca9	comment	Arcueid the True Ancestor vampire from Tsukihime is magically-self sufficient enough to not require food (her drinking blood would be bad), shelter, or sleep and just wanders Tokyo all day and all night; since she doesn't rely on society's infrastructure, she doesn't need an official identity. When necessary, she presumably hypnotizes her way into getting a hotel room should she need to recover from damage. She actually has a special ability to psychically absorb cultural knowledge so that she instantly knows the language and general customs of any place or time she wakes up in. (Although there is a funny gap between theory and practice.) She's fairly rich, though, as she has a friend in the Clock Tower who sells her fairy gold for her. Also averted with Ciel, who blatantly states that she just brainwashes everyone, with a standard 'trust what Ciel says' command, and lets their brains fill things in (in fact, she doesn't have to attend classes! She just hangs around the tea ceremony room; well, except when she attends classes for the fun of it). The Back-Alley Alliance, Satsuki, Sion, and Riesbyfe, is another aversion. They're not old enough or powerful enough for the shenanigans Ciel and Arcueid do; and while Sion could hack people's minds for an identity, she doesn't. Sion spends most of the first Melty Blood game sleeping in an alley, and them being homeless is a bit of a Memetic Mutation. Averted for most of the surviving Servants post-Fifth Holy Grail War. Lancer and Rider make a living through part-time jobs, Archer Projects whatever he needs and spends a fair bit of time in spirit form, Berserker and Assassin are unable to interact in any meaningful way with people, and Saber's decided to freely indulge in Shirou's hospitality. Gilgamesh and Caster are the only ones who actually bothered to set up a legal identity; the first is so filthy rich he can afford to throw money at any problem (hell, somehow he's a business owner), and Caster's main reason to have records at all was to be able to legally marry Kuzuki.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time zigzags this trope to hell and back, sometimes justifying it, sometimes glossing over it: Emma Swan has an easy explanation: she is officially found as a baby by the side of the road, so she enters the system as any abandoned baby would. The same can be inferred of Lily. The Dark Curse seems to provide all the needed papers to the Storybrooke residents. It makes sense within the magically isolated bubble that is the town, but apparently, the new identities have a certain reach even on the outside. Regina has all the right credentials to adopt infant Henry from an agency in Boston; Mr. Gold has enough contacts and power to grease the wheels and make the adoption happen, even having a couple dropping off the list at the last moment; Sidney Glass has a wide enough ear network to crack open a classified file from a closed adoption. Did the Dark Curse give them all leverage on the outside world? Ursula and Cruella fall into a portal to the Land Without Magic and manage to get by for three decades afterwards. Ursula seems to work a low-pay job and live in a modest-income flat, so she might have pretended to just be an undocumented immigrant from somewhere. Cruella was married to a rich and corrupt husband, who might have had a hand at integrating her. Neither gets an explanation in-universe. Ingrid the Snow Queen is even more puzzling: a single lady from another dimension gets integrated well enough to own a house, work as a foster parent for orphaned children and file for adoption for one of them. She even does this in-universe when she turns up in Storybrooke, blends into the background and even opens an ice cream parlour without Regina, who has eyes everywhere in town and is aware of the Curse, being the wiser. Baelfire/Neal Cassidy seems to avert this at first, living at the edge of society as a petty thief. Flash-forward ten years, and he seems to own a flat and have a corporate job. Flashbacks eventually reveal he spent time on the streets as an orphan, which he could at least use to probably explain a few things.

In real life, people who have mistakenly been declared dead in some government database can spend years trying to get the bureaucracy to acknowledge and correct the error. But Buffy was never declared dead. The Scoobies actively hid her death through the use of the BuffyBot. Although she did get a gravestone. A gravestone in a remote part of the woods, so no one other than the Scoobies knew it existed. In "Gone", the social worker handling the paperwork for the Buffy household went a little cuckoo bananas nutcakes after being tormented by an invisible woman. Perils of a Sunnydale life.

Although she did alter reality so that she'd appear to be a normal high school student and not a freaky-ass vengeance demon. She didn't account for the possibility that she'd lose her powers and be stuck that way. In the Season 10 comics, Spike states that it would be a challenge for him to get a job, pointing out that he has no social security number, can't work daytime shifts, and has a hundred-year gap in his resume; he explains that most vampires support themselves by robbing their kills.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_e3349241	comment	Shows up from time to time in Diabolik: Early on the title character used the identity of Walter Dorian until discovered by the police, with the issue "Diabolik, Who Are You?" eventually clarifying he survived a shipwreck as a child and taken in by criminals in the Far East, who never bothered to register him and didn't know where he came from. A later story then showed that Diabolik later found out of an Identical Stranger named Walter Dorian and stole his identity, and thus his properties in Clerville, after assaulting him and throwing him into a river. Diabolik from time to time invents new identities for himself and Eva for use in his heists. It's explained as him being a skilled hacker, able to hack government databases and alter the data well enough to then have the government provide him with actual paperwork. They usually hold well enough under casual scrutiny, but crumble whenever Ginko gets involved... Something Diabolik has long learned to plan for. Occasionally, Diabolik creates identities for someone else that he owes a favor to. His standard modus operandi is to create one of his perfect masks, recover the necessary paperwork and give them money and a warning to hightail from the country, as they have Ginko's attention and there's a good chance he may expose them. In one peculiar occasion, Diabolik adopted a different modus operandi: he sent the woman who needed a new identity to Ginko, as she was a witness in a Mafia trial and knew Ginko, as a high-ranking police officer, could simply have the government provide her a new identity as part of a witness protection program. In "The Years Lost in the Blood" Walter Dorian turns out having survived Diabolik's attempted assassination only to be captured by rogue soldiers preparing for a coop and, being a foreigner, detained as a spy for years until he managed to escape and reach Clerville's consulate... At which point he found out he was legally dead due Diabolik confessing his murder, and with him having no family or heirs his properties had been seized by the government. Given Diabolik's involvement, Dorian's identity was quickly verified, at which point he was granted a temporary pension until the matter of his properties could be settled and a new identity due the very real risk of Diabolik finding out and finishing the job to take over his identity again. His properties remained in the government's hands due him tracking down Diabolik and trying to force him to pay him money for what he did to him and also to promise to leave him alone only to accidentally reveal Diabolik had another good reason to kill him, resulting in Diabolik doing just that.

In "Gone", the social worker handling the paperwork for the Buffy household went a little cuckoo bananas nutcakes after being tormented by an invisible woman. Perils of a Sunnydale life. Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins (Lame-Ass Made-Up Maiden Name)? She even goes to high school after losing her powers! Although she did alter reality so that she'd appear to be a normal high school student and not a freaky-ass vengeance demon. She didn't account for the possibility that she'd lose her powers and be stuck that way. In the Season 10 comics, Spike states that it would be a challenge for him to get a job, pointing out that he has no social security number, can't work daytime shifts, and has a hundred-year gap in his resume; he explains that most vampires support themselves by robbing their kills. Xander suggests he get a job as a consultant for the S.F.P.D.'s supernatural crimes unit, which Spike confesses isn't a bad idea. Angel From the pilot episode, wealthy vampire Russel Winters has an identity, owns property, pays his taxes, and seems to run a business with meetings in the day (the windows are a special kind of glass that block the harmful part of the sun's rays; he presumably is driven around in cars with the same glass). He's a client of Wolfram & Hart, so they probably helped him get a lot of the documentation. He and his lawyer learn that absolutely none of this prevents Angel from simply walking into his office and throwing him out the window. Spike and Angel himself both having learned to drive (and Angel holding a driving license). Angel successfully rents property in LA — how many estate agents do you know will send someone out after dark to arrange a lease? This is lampshaded in one episode where someone asks Angel how he can order stuff over the Internet. Fred explains how to hack a company's computer system and steal whatever you want. Angel says he just memorized Cordy's credit card number. Fred spent a few years in a Hell dimension. Afterward, she lives in the Hyperion and gets all her resources from Angel and co, so legal documents are not necessary. Kate comments in one episode about how real detectives have licenses and surnames. They don't into the details of how Angel acquired his first place in L.A, but the team consulted a millionaire who owed them a big favor for financial advice when they decided to take over the Hyperion Hotel. The deliberately Obstructive Bureaucrat Gavin Park quickly recognizes that they can shut Angel Investigations down simply by pointing out Angel's ID issues to the government. Just to spite Gavin, Lilah gets Angel all the documents he needs. Humorously lampshaded in "The Girl in Question", when Spike's rant reveals that the Immortal had him thrown in prison for tax evasion.

Lancer and Rider make a living through part-time jobs, Archer Projects whatever he needs and spends a fair bit of time in spirit form, Berserker and Assassin are unable to interact in any meaningful way with people, and Saber's decided to freely indulge in Shirou's hospitality. Gilgamesh and Caster are the only ones who actually bothered to set up a legal identity; the first is so filthy rich he can afford to throw money at any problem (hell, somehow he's a business owner), and Caster's main reason to have records at all was to be able to legally marry Kuzuki.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_f724b70d	comment	Code Lyoko is an aversion. The heroes go to great lengths to give Aelita a plausible identity ("Aelita Stones, transfer student from Canada"), JÃ©rÃ©mie even creating false ID papers for her. And the cover almost gets blown several times, mostly because of Sissi's snooping.

Deconstructed later it's when it's revealed that she slides only mentally, replacing or overwriting the local Kanae with herself and thus never needing to have an identity — she always already has one. She doesn't realize it.

The other students genuinely believed the tale (after being terrified when he reappeared in spite of being dead), and the authorities never called him up on his death.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_f9cb2c07	comment	Alluded to briefly at the end of The Second Try while Shinji is monologuing to his father as he lies comatose in a hospital bed: He's not looking forward to dealing with the paperwork and awkward questions that will come with establishing a legal identity for his and Asuka's Kid from the Future, four year-old Aki. Although in earlier chapters it's hinted that Japan has a lot of orphans and lost children thanks to Second Impact, so a few vague or missing details in the paper trail wouldn't cause much comment. And the first chapter of the sequel involves Ritsuko insisting on a DNA test to verify Shinji and Asuka's story. By the fifth chapter, Misato has arranged a valid passport by some unspecified means that she intends to lord over them forever.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: In Sailor Moon R, Chibi-Usa pulls off joining Usagi's family through brainwashing. In the next season, the paper trail is somehow faked well enough that she can enroll in school. Likewise, the Ayakashi Sisters are somehow able to function as normal citizens of present-day Tokyo after their Heelâ€“Face Turn — despite coming from the future, and from another planet at that. The Sailor Star Lights become a famous boy band. Even though they came to Earth from a far-off planet and now are under the media spotlight, no one notices a lack of childhood on Earth. Most of the various villains arrive in the form of being shopkeepers, a traveling circus, a famous medium, or exchange students. Even though almost all of these characters are/become highly successful and get a lot of attention under their disguise, no one notices that they came right the flip out of nowhere. Presumably like Chibi-Usa, they brainwash everyone into not noticing or caring. Averted with Jadeite, as he'd usually take over existing businesses and either brainwash or kidnap and replace the owner. With the two times he didn't do that, in one the scheme was short-term enough to escape detection, and in the other Sailor Moon tracked him down because of this trope.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_fcf34eec	comment	Sousuke in Full Metal Panic! infiltrates a Japanese high school with a forged identity provided by Mithril, under orders not to reveal his identity as a special ops sergeant or his objectives. Bureaucratically speaking, he pulls the infiltration off without a hitch as no-one seems to raise questions about his papers, prior education, tax status, social security number, etc (though the huge "donations" from Mithril to the school may have helped with that). Practically... less so.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_fd314ec1	comment	Tsukasa, the eponymous Kamen Rider Decade, nicely skirts around this by instantly adjusting to his new dimension through some cosmic force. He always finds himself with the skills, documentation, equipment, and attire for whatever his job may be. This is later explained in the Grand Finale movie: Decade's job is to be whatever a given dimension needs him to be - hero or villain, savior or destroyer. Thus, the job adjustment is simply him being handed his role by The Powers That Be.

Undead Tax Exemption / int_fdb75d6	comment	The comic book version of The Extinction Parade plays with this by having a mortal working for the vampires whose job is to arrange their false identities, maintain their property records, and make sure their taxes are paid... and gives a brief glimpse of how utterly fucked they are when he decides he's had enough. Of course, the zombie apocalypse kinda puts that in perspective...
