Compound words: nonidentification or non-identification

Hello!

Should I write «nonidentification» or «non-identification»?

I have the same doubt about «non-visulization» vs. «nonvisulization» and «non-obese» vs. «nonobese».

Best regards,
Inês

Anonymous Should I write Most dictionaries spell such words without the hyphens. Many people write them with the hyphens anyway. None of the examples given in the dictionary entry I link to below uses a hyphen.
