USE AND CONTROL OF DISGUISE AND ALIAS DOCUMENTS

General

1. The policy, responsibilities, and procedures concerning
U.S. documentation issued to authenticate a false identity used
in the Directorate of Operations are set forth in CSI [word?]
240-1 dated 23 August 1972. This instruction, a revision of
CSI 220-1 dated 12 May 1959, represents an extensive upgrading in
the definition of responsibilities and in establishing procedures
ensuring that each request has the approval of a designated senior
official in the component. The current instruction, furthermore,
requires that each request be routed through Cover and Commercial
Staff, Official Cover Branch (CCS/OCB) for concurrence, which, in
effect, makes CCS/OCB the one component retaining complete records
and details of every request. There are no other regulations
applying to this subject, but it currently is observed by all
components.

Issuing Responsibilities and Procedures

2. Three major components are responsible for issuing alias
documentation and/or disguise. The specific responsibilities are:

a. [REDACTED] This office issues non-backstopped documents in
aliases which are used exclusively for flash identification
purposes. Birth certificates in alias are considered to be
a special document and require a uniquely prescribed approval
procedure and control. This Branch also responds for disguises.

b. [REDACTED] Issues driver's licenses which are fully backstopped as well
as fully backstopped investigative credentials.

c. [REDACTED]
