Glossary of Fake ID terms

Distinction between real ID, illegal fake ID and legal novelty fake ID

Real ID Cards

Real ID cards are printed by organisations like USIt, NUS or the Connexions card. also the Prove-It card, made by some anti-booze company. Driving licences are real ID cards aswell.

These are illegal to copy and anyone selling them is most likely a scammer.

Illega fake Id cards are copies of existing cards like driver licences DVLA cards, prove it cards. Anyone offering these is likely to be a scammer.

Novelty Fake ID Cards

Novelty fake Id cards are completely made up, the person who designed the cards owns the copyright.


Glossary of Plastic Card Industry Terms

An explanation of some technical terms

I got confused by all the phrases used in fake ID sites so I copied this from one of them, it explains all the words that are used in various fake id websites

Magnetic Stripes

Magnetic stripes are the black or brown stripes that you see on the back of bank cards ect. Some fake id sites encode them, most don't as there aren't any readers in bars.

Holographic Overlays

Hologram printed all over the surface of the card, kind of see through. Is a good security feature and makes fake id's very effective.

HDP Plastic Card Printer

A way of printing cards so that the quality is very high. For the lot of plastic cards I have, the HDP ones look the best.

Signature Panel

A place for you to sign. Sometimes fake ID sites scan in your signature and print it, this really makes a difference in how effective your card is..

PVC Card

PVC means plastic, plastic card is good for a fake ID, far better than laminated ID cards.

Barcode

WAy of storing names/ number in coded series of stripes, like on packet of cigs etc.

Hologram

Holograms are foil that reflect light and or a three dimensional image out to the eye. A very good security feature.
