Forgery Detectors are used by airports, customs, police, and other high-security installations to identify fake passports, ID documents and banknotes. By using forgery detectors, fake ID cards are easy to spot.
With the vast diversity of photocopiers, scanners and high-definition printers, document alteration and forgery have become more prevalent and frequent. This increasing trend of document fraud has led to the requirement for more efficient forensic investigation techniques for document forgery detection.
Detection of forged security documents
Forged documents like fake ID cards are used for financial or extraneous gains causing wrongful costs.
Several corporate frauds and swindles have been perpetrated, causing considerable losses. Forged documents are usually produced to substantiate false claims. These documents relate to cases about cheating, embezzlement, misappropriation, disproportionate assets, anonymous complaints, extortion or criminal misconduct and corporate frauds. Therefore, it is essential to detect false documents before they harm companies and institutions.
Specialists involved in document authenticity verification must possess deep knowledge in anti-counterfeit technologies and hi-tech production of printed products. In such a case, special authenticity verification devices are beneficial.
Types of Fake IDs
Fake ID cards can be classified into three main categories: Forged IDs, Altered IDs, and stolen IDs.
Forged ID
Forged IDs are not created by a government agency or any legal authority. These are specially produced to set up a fake identity of a person. Forged IDs can be further separated into two categories: Front forgery and Front & Back Forgery.
Front Forgery IDs include the IDs made using stolen images and personal information. However, any barcodes of IDs do not contain any encrypted data, whereas, in the front and back forgery IDs, both sides of the ID document are made to look legitimate.
Altered ID
These are real IDs, but their information is a little modified. For instance, birth or address data is modified to get entry into nightclubs and bars or buy alcohol, when they are not used for crime-related purposes.
Stolen ID
As the name indicates, these are real IDs stolen and used by other persons who want to pretend to be somebody else. It is a serious crime, and it should be detected immediately. Otherwise, it could generate grave consequences.
