When you order a fake ID, there is a lot of information you need to include to make it realistic. First, and most important, is the picture. What you do exactly will depend on what your goals are with the fake ID. If you want a realistic ID with a picture of you, then you should look at other real IDs that have been issued in your area. Look at the picture, paying attention to the lighting and the background.
Try to emulate this as best you can, and get a high quality picture with your digital camera. You can then upload it to the fake ID web site, and have that picture printed on the ID. You should definitely pay a lot of attention to this, since if it is too bright or looks wrong in any way, the ID will not be very convincing.
You'll have the option of which region's ID type you want. All states have different layouts and designs on the IDs, which makes it harder for people who want to use fake IDs for mischievous purposes. Again, you should find a legitimate ID from your state, and observe the pattern. Then, look your state up on whatever site you are on, and you should see an example. Make sure that it matches up with the ID that you have, just in case the layout has changed recently. There might be other security features offered by the web site, such as holograms. These lend more credibility to the fake ID that you receive.
Next you have to enter all of the information you want to show up as text on the ID. This includes the ID Number, which you could take from a previously assigned official ID, if that is legal in your area. Other information includes your name, your address, your date of birth, and your physical features. If you want people to believe that your name is something different, then this is where you enter it to show up on your fake ID. If you want people to think you are older, the same applies. It is VERY important that you comply with all laws when modifying your age on your ID. This is where most people get into troubles with fake Ids. You can set any of the fields to whatever you want, depending on your objective with the fake ID.
Fake IDs are good fun, as long as you use them responsibly. Make sure to never imply that your ID is representative of, or issued by, the government. As long as you follow the laws, you should keep out of trouble.
The last place you'd expect it to be available is out in the open, right there on the Internet. However, a search for fake IDs on the internet reveals innumerable sites that produce fake IDs openly. What's more, they claim the fake ids are legal even though fake ID and legal seem like such a contrary juxtaposition of terms. An ID serves as a means of personal identification and contains vital information regarding any one individual. Tampering with that information is illegal and so is creating another ID with different information.
So- getting back to the subject of being able to get fake IDs on the internet. Look carefully at the fine print- actually on most sites it is written in BIG, BOLD LETTERS- and you will see that these fake IDs are made strictly for novelty use and for the sole purpose of fun and practical jokes. They are not a replica of and neither do they attempt to be a replica of, any identification currently available anywhere in the world.
A fake ID is not a legal document and cannot be used as such. While possession of a fake ID is considered legal, it is how you use it that makes it illegal. It cannot be used as a license to drive or to derive any social security benefits or to prove one's age. And it most certainly cannot be used to buy alcohol or cigarettes by proving that you are above the legal permissible age. Misusing your fake ID for personal, financial or political gains is considered an offence and severely punishable under law.
Many underage teens are under the mistaken notion that purchasing alcohol using a fake ID is their problem and nobody else's. After all it's their life and they are likely to be the only victims, if any. While this may not be the biggest crime in the world, it can have devastatingly far-reaching consequences. First of all the chances of getting caught are very high as bar owners and employees are adept at spotting fake IDs. And if you do get caught you could be fined for possessing alcohol as well as for misusing your fake ID. Repeat offenders could find themselves in jail leading to a down hill journey that could cost you your education, your job and your driving license as well.
So go ahead and by all means get yourself a fake ID if you want to, but remember that it should only be used to play pranks on family and friends. Bartenders, cops and social security officers will fail to see the funny side of it if you try pulling a fast one on them using your fake ID.
