** Superman himself. He's an orphan adopted by the Kents, that much is always clear. What's less clear is how the Kents pulled it off. Even if they told truth that they found him abandoned in a cornfield/on the side of the road, how did they ensure that ''they'' adopted him without him going into the system and being potentially adopted by some other family? Presumably they wanted to avoid that and let anyone else discover he was an alien.

** Baelfire/Neal Cassidy seems to avert this at first, living at the edge of society as a petty thief. Flash-forward ten years, and he seems to own a flat and have a corporate job.

** Baelfire/Neal Cassidy seems to avert this at first, living at the edge of society as a petty thief. Flash-forward ten years, and he seems to own a flat and have a corporate job. Flashbacks eventually reveal he spent time on the streets as an orphan, which he could at least use to probably explain a few things.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' actually gives an explanation for how the Kents got the paperwork to adopt Clark. After the initial meteor shower, they picked up Lionel and Lex Luthor and got them back to town. They used that to get a grateful Lionel to use his wealth and connections to provide what they needed...but he of course made some additional stipulations.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Wizards and muggles generally live in two separate societies, but in the times when the two worlds must interact this trope can come into play. Wizard children born to magical parents are presumably never registered to receive birth certificates given wizards' general ignorance of muggle customs, yet Ron receives a driver's license in Deathly Hallows. Muggle-borns could cause problems as well, given that at the age of eleven they suddenly disappear from the muggle society for ten months out of the year. The Ministry of Magic maintains a staff of "Obliviators", wizards and witches who specialize in memory charms. Usually, their job is to cover up public displays of magic or appearances by magical beings. However, it is quite reasonable to imagine that they also perform the necessary manipulations of muggle authorities to manage children who seemingly drop out of sight. At one point the Ministry even arranges to have the ''president'' of a foreign country "forget" to call the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and reschedules for them to do so the following day, thus showing the extent of their reach. It's also possible that getting these kinds of things taken care of is part of the reason the two governments work together at all.

Muggle-borns could cause problems as well, given that at the age of eleven they suddenly disappear from the muggle society for ten months out of the year. We see an explanation for this in a flashback when Dumbledore comes to recruit Tom Riddle. He initially tries to claim that he's from a private school (which isn't too far off the truth really), but the orphanage director (described by Harry as "inconveniently sharp" ) keeps poking holes in his explanations, so he ultimately just uses a spell that makes her think he has the appropriate paperwork.
