  Traditionally double neutrinoless electronic capture is considered as a
resonance process. We have fulfilled shake-off probability calculations,
leading to ionization of the electron shell, in the case of $^{164}$Er.
Allowance for the shake-off removes the requirement of resonance, leading to an
increase of the capture rate. The contribution of the new mechanism increases
the capture rate by a factor of 5.6 compared to the conventional resonance
fluorescence mechanism. It also increases the probability of electron capture
from higher shells, which must be foreseen in an experimental study. Moreover,
effect of the shake-off can potentially expand the list of candidate nuclei for
experiments.
