* ''Literature/WhereAreTheChildren'': After being released from prison, Nancy understandably wanted to get as far away from San Francisco as possible, escaping both the painful memories there and the people who blamed her for the deaths of her children and husband (she was wrongly convicted for killing her children and released due to a mistrial declaration; her husband killed himself). She cut and dyed her hair, got a new wardrobe, moved all the way to the Cape Cod on the opposite side of the US and starting going by her maiden name. No one in her new home knows about her past save for her second husband Ray Eldredge and family friend Dorothy Prentiss, and Nancy is anxious for it to stay that way.

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': Season 4 introduces a distant associate of Saul, named Ed Galbraith, who will grant someone a completely new, untraceable identity somewhere in the country at a base (non-refundable) price of $125,000 per person. Due to the extremely steep cost, the fact that it's a one-time offer, and because you have to abandon anyone you once knew, [[GodzillaThreshold it's presented as absolute last-resort choice]]. Near the end of the last season, both [[spoiler:Walter and Saul]] are forced to make use of it once [[spoiler:Walt's crimes become public]]. [[spoiler:Walt is given a new name of "Mr. Lambert" and relocated to a remote mountain cabin in New Hampshire, while Saul is given the new name "Gene Takavic" and becomes the manager of a Cinnabon in Omaha (setting up the FramingDevice in the followup, ''Series/BetterCallSaul'').]] In both cases, they are eventually forced back to Albuquerque to atone for their actions. Jesse also makes use of Ed in the epilogue movie ''Film/ElCamino'', but because [[spoiler:he backed out on a previous new identity at the last second in Season 5, Ed makes Jesse to pay ''double''. Jesse eventually succeeds in gathering up the necessary funds and is relocated to a town in Alaska as "Mr. Driscoll".]]
