The Question is: How Can I Disappear?
Most of the question can be explained with one word: "Underground."
Begin with advance planning. Start by creating, an unknown to anyone, stockpile of cash. If you have any medical conditions requiring medication, begin a stockpile of that as well.
Lets start with the appearance changes. Colored contact lenses, hair color, hair length, shave or grow a beard or moustache, clothing style, vehicle change, possibly to motorcycle, as the helmet adds extra protection from identification by pesky video surveillance cameras. One of the hardest to do, change any identifying habits.
If standard modes of travel are out of the question, meaning you don't own a car, go by bus. Pay cash for the ticket, and use the new assumed name. Remember though do not be caught on the cameras in the station or on the bus which means doing some of your own surveillance ahead of time so you know where the cameras are located. The average American is caught 200 (two hundred) times a day on surveillance cameras.
You'll have to procure new living arrangements, Business cards(instant new ID for identification to people unknown to you). Then Visas, Passports, Personal ID, Credit Cards, Social Security Card, and Birth/Death Certificate more than likely from various personages outside the law and usually of darker purpose.
Faking one's own disappearance/death can be difficult especially today with all the advances in electronics, forensics, GPS etc... and not to mention dental records.
So unless you want to acidically remove your own finger and footprints, tongue prints and earprints which are also coming into vogue now as identifiers, as well as pulling all of your own teeth (Ow!) you'll have to rely on the criminal underground.
If you have contacts with MI6 or the American CIA or NSA, (unlikely, but not improbable) they will be able to wipe your "record".
Create a "blind" email address, with "fake" name and physical address info, either at a local library or internet cafe. Only use it there or on a dedicated laptop with programs to block any 'traffic analysis', use anonymous web surfing software and IP address hiding programs.
More options include a prepaid phone, most of which are 'disposable' meaning untraceable. Drop the credit cards, learn to live off cash and gift type credit cards available at most Wal-Marts.
Another thought would be the world of computer programmers/hackers. They could assist you by infilitrating the mainframes of various governmental agenices e.g. Social Security, Vital Statistics, IRS, Immigration, Homeland Security, et al, although unlikely to be inexpensive.
Legend holds that 7 years is the timeframe to be pronounced legally deceased without a body.
If the need comes along to revive your "old" identity as long as a murder is not involved you'll be fine. If there is then there is no statute to expire for murder and as far as other crimes go it would depend on the country/county/state and the severity of the crime committed.
Enjoy!

Remember *Writing is the socially acceptable form of schizophrenia*
Two of my favorite sayings in closing.
1) If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.
2) "It is the duty of those who CAN see what is going on to expose to those who cannot see, the situation that they are unaware of!"

There was an interesting show on cable a couple months back that went over all this stuff & more (with the usual disclaimers about how you shouldn't actually do it). it was good stuff, some of it I'd already used (as a "prank"/ "test" at work)- how to "block" RFID scanners. They also mentioned how to "blind" security cameras (especially at night) - if you've ever used NVG's, you can figure out how to "blind" a camera that uses IR illumination at night.
