wnbc.com - News - Jail Time For Identity Theft: "A woman was sentenced to three to six years in prison for helping run an identity fraud ring that supplied fake driver's licenses, Social Security cards and resident alien IDs to thousands of people."

Comment: Note the news article refers to the incident as "identity fraud" versus "identity theft."

The term "identity fraud" would be more fitting when fake identification or identities are used. Identity theft using real identities can be refered to as "identity fraud" too. In any case, using another person's personal information without permission is fraud.
