Authorities can improve detection of identity fraud by implementing stricter verification processes when dealing with individuals claiming to be minors or victims of abuse. Background checks, fingerprinting, DNA testing, and thorough interviews could help uncover inconsistencies in the stories presented by impostors like Bourdin. Collaboration between agencies at local, national, and international levels is crucial to track individuals who move across borders assuming false identities. Educating social workers, teachers, healthcare professionals about common tactics used by impostors can also aid in early detection.
