Many forms of fake ID have been circulating for a long time. You must have wondered how they are made so perfect that they escape from being confiscated.
There are some basic requirements for creating the perfect fake ID. You need to have the original ID that you want to duplicate at your disposal. You have to use an application that will let you edit the ID on a screen.
A good quality scanner will help you on your job, while a printer will give you a hard copy of your skilled work. Teslin paper is used to print such documents
It may be quite difficult for you to handle the paper because it is very different from normal print paper. But, after a few tries, you will be good to go!
Using a fake ID is a punishable offense, but it also requires the utmost precision and skill. This article discusses everything you need to know about a scannable ID.
Making the card ready to be scanned
The card needs to be in good shape to be scanned. If not, the scan will be of poor quality, and anybody will be able to understand that the ID is fake.
Thus, you need to flatten and smoothen out all the edges. Even the minor presence of a bit of dirt can affect the quality of the scan, which is why you should clean it with a rag to make sure the scan does not capture any dirt.
Create a template as close to the original one as possible. To get a high-quality scan, make sure there are no holograms on the original ID. Destroy the holograms in case of any.
Scanning the card
The quality of the scanned template makes a huge difference in making sure whether the ultimate result of a scannable ID will be convincing enough to be passed as an original.
This is why you need to arrange the settings of the scanner to the maximum quality so that there are only minor differences between the original and the fake ID.
Photoshopping
The Clone Stamp tool in the Photoshop application can be used to cover any spots or marks that may have been scanned. Remember that the card needs to look as uniform as possible.
Next, you have to choose a font that will closely resemble the one on the original one. Make sure the size is also the exact one as in the original ID. Use this font to make the necessary textual changes.
If you fail to recognize the font, you can also use the Helvetica font, which is the most official-looking font that is available on Photoshop. It can be used for any formal purpose.
The Marquee Select tool also uses advanced features to make your fake ID look just like the original one. You will also have to use the color gradient option to make sure the colors are all appropriately balanced.
Printing the new card
Before using the Teslin paper for the final print of the ID, you should use plain paper for the initial number of times and get a better idea about how the fake ID looks on paper.
You must adjust the slider of the printer to make sure the document fits the size of the paper. After you are completely sure of the outcome of the duplicate ID, you can use the Teslin paper to print it out.
Do not forget about the posterior side of an ID which is as important as the front one. It can be created by the same steps that were undertaken to create the front one. All you have to do is turn the Teslin paper over and print the rest of the card on that face.
Laminating the fake ID
The reason behind the use of Teslin paper instead of regular paper is that laminating becomes easier in case of this quality of the paper. Teslin prevents the card from suffering any damage and withstands it.
Make sure the machine laminates hot instead of cold. Wait a few minutes after the lamination before handling the card. If it feels wrong, then repeat the process until you get it right.
Final Touches
Use sandpaper and scissors to make sure the edges of the card are completely even. Minor discrepancies will immediately be recognized.
The hologram overlay should be used for the appropriate hologram. It also needs to be placed in a vacuum to prevent the formation of bubbles.
