How to Recognize Fake ID

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office keeps a wall full of fake ID cards, passports and social security numbers presented by people seeking to avoid arrest or secure state benefits. Many of these documents contain names or numbers belonging to noncitizens who have managed to make money picking fruit, maiding offices or cleaning them instead – but the real victims are innocent people whose identities were stolen in this process.

Whenever you suspect someone of being falsely represented as another individual, ask questions regarding their date and name of birth, then compare these answers with what’s written on their ID card. Look out for discrepancies including spelling errors or different font sizes as well as laser engraved tactile signatures that seem too small or dark for reality.

If you’re serious about creating a fake ID, use a form-fillable template tailored to the style of ID issued in your jurisdiction and invest in matte heavy cardstock weighing between 100-130 lb; avoid shiny paper as this increases the risk of getting busted by law enforcement officials. When taking photos for your ID don’t use a phone camera because its resolution won’t meet real world standards.
