Find out how crafty counterfeiters stay one step ahead of the bureaucrats and security professionals and readily replicate driver's licenses, birth certificates and other supposedly "secure" identity documents.

Also included are difficult-to-find driver's licenses backs, which are nonexistent on the Internet and ignored in other ID books.

Synopsis

Producing credible IDs is harder than ever before as the bureaucratic machine proliferates such Orwellian devices as holograms and magnetic swipes to thwart modern desktop technicians. In his latest book, veteran privacy author Sheldon Charrett shows how persistent privacy seekers readily replicate driver's licenses, birth certificates and other supposedly 'secure' identity documents. In this book you will learn about the most effective techniques and tricks for IDs, as well as 'poor man's' techniques for those on a tight budget. Charrett also reveals a technique for reproducing holograms that has never before been published by anyone, anywhere, as well as his own previously unpublished technique for making cheap and effective embossing plates for notary and state seals. With more than 50 detailed photographs and a dozen tables and illustrations.
