Become homeless, I suppose.

Can't get into my bank? Work won't let me in because they don't recognize me? Nobody's going to hire me without ID or a background check. So I guess I'm a bum now.

Folks here hoping to reclaim their identity: how, exactly? No birth certificate, no drivers license, no passport... how, exactly, are you going to prove you're you?

Yeah, there’s no way to recover your identity once that happens. No one recognizes you and your identity is scrubbed. You are shit out of luck.

So you have two choices

1: Become a bum

2: Become an assassin , good luck on finding a person whose identity has been scrubbed.
