I think that in Spain, or any other country with a national ID card, this would be mucho more difficult. Police has fingerprints of everyone. In case someone says someone else is using his identity, the police just need to check the fingerprint with the national ID database.

Someone steals your identity, and is also committed enough to burn off their fingerprints in a way that looks accidental. What now?

Well, I can still prove I am the real one? And he can't prove he's me... He didn't burn my fingerprints off.

That wouldn't work unless they manage to burn off your finger prints too.

In general IDs also have photos and currently everything is digital/stored so there is a trace of previous documents issued thus apart from burning off fingerprintes a face operation would be needed... or hacking national databases...
