Hmm...why would we exclude space-time from identity?
Identity may be subjective... but why would you think that subjectivity is non-material? I think that consciousness is in the mind and the mind is the material brain and in all probability consciousness itself is material... I think I'd need a reason to believe it was for some odd reason the only known thing that is non-material (or perhaps more specifically, isn't non-physical).
To separate our identity from space time is surely to separate it from the universe ? I would think?
And isn't that basically a way of saying that our identities don't exist? Or perhaps - that they are illusions?
But then if they are illusions, then they still exist as illusions. Presumably in the brain I would think.
