# Commission Decision of 4 March 2008 adopting the SIRENE Manual and other implementing measures for the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (2008/334/JHA), Division 2.11.1: Misused identity (Article 36 of the SIS II Regulation and 51 of the SIS II Decision)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Subject to the person's consent, as soon as it is clear that a person's identity has been misused, additional data shall be added to the alert in the SIS II in order to avoid the negative consequences of misidentification. The person whose identity has been misused may, according to national procedures, provide the competent authority with the information specified in Article 36(3) of the SIS II Regulation and Article 51(3) of the SIS II Decision. Any person whose identity has been misused has the right to withdraw his/her consent for the information to be processed.
When a Member State discovers that an alert on a person issued by another Member State relates to a case of misused identity, it shall thereof inform the SIRENE Bureau of the issuing Member State using a Q form, in order that the data can be added to the SIS II alert.
The data of the person whose identity has been misused shall only be available for the purpose of establishing the identity of the person being checked and shall in no way be used for any other purpose. Information on misused identity shall be deleted at the same time as the alert or earlier if the person concerned so requests.
Taking into account the purpose for entering data of this nature, the photographs and fingerprints of the person whose identity has been misused should be added to the alert. On the Q form, only the Schengen number refers to the data of the person sought by the SIS II alert. The information in heading 052 (Date document was issued) is compulsory.
Furthermore, on becoming aware that a person for whom an alert exists in the SIS II is misusing someone else's identity, the issuing Member State shall check whether it is necessary to maintain the misused identity in the SIS II alert (to find the sought person).
