Cavil must have gone to great lengths to introduce the Five into the human population. You can see some of the effort in The Plan, though that is more to save a Five already in the population. Although the Five are clearly introduced at different times in history (Tigh and Ellen seem to be the earliest), one problem remains:
How did Cavil fake Tigh's military documents? If his military history (including his discharge) was a fabricated memory that Cavil implanted, how was Adama able to get him "back in"? Without faked documents, he would have discovered Tigh's true history. How much access does Cavil really have?
Answer
All of the Final Five would have needed faked records - indeed, all of the cylons that were inserted into colonial society would have needed them.
It isn't inconceivable that the cylons were experts at computer systems, and were able to infiltrate records and replace them. Bribery of administrators and people in useful positions is also not unlikely. Since skin-jobs were not known in the colonies at the time, it would have been easy to make shady deals with people only suspecting typical criminal motives rather than a more sinister cylon plot.
I'd imagine that the colonies would have been a bit of a mess after the Cylon War, and it usually isn't difficulties for new identities to be created in that kind of turmoil (happened after WWII with a number of people adopting new persona after the war).
