IDGod is one of the most recognized names in the world of counterfeit IDs. Although some people claim to have “quality” items, the truth is that counterfeit IDs are illegal and may not work well, and most “IDGod” websites are scams.
However, here’s how you can identify fake IDGod IDs or any other fake ID before it becomes a legal or safety issue.
1. Look for Poor Print Quality
Government-issued IDs have high-quality printing. However, counterfeit IDs have the following characteristics:
- Text that is blurry or pixelated
- Fonts that are uneven or have irregular letter spacing
- Elements that are not properly aligned
- Blurry edges around text and images
If the ID has poor print quality, as if it were printed from a home printer or a low-quality printer, it is likely a fake ID.
2. Examine the Holograms and Security Features
Most genuine IDs have intricate security features such as:
- Holographic overlays
- UV elements
- Microprint
- Raised text (tactile element)
- Laser-engraved details
Most fake IDs have:
- Low-quality stickers instead of holographic overlays
- Flat or printed holograms
- Incorrect or missing UV patterns
Tip: Examine the ID with a UV light for hidden patterns. If the reaction is weak or incorrect, it’s a definite sign of a fake ID.
3. Examine for Incorrect State or Country Information
Most fake IDs have:
- Incorrect fonts
- Incorrect state emblems
- Incorrect color schemes
- Incorrect layout or templates
If the ID does not resemble the authentic template of the state or country, it’s a fake.
Tip: Compare the ID with an authentic template or sample online.
4. Examine the Barcode and Magnetic Stripe
Most genuine IDs have a barcode and/or magnetic stripe containing encoded information. Most fake IDs have:
- Barcodes that don’t scan
- Incorrect encoding
- Missing or low-quality barcodes
If the barcode doesn’t scan or provides incorrect information, it’s a fake ID.
5. Check the Photo and Lamination
Fake IDs tend to have:
- Poorly cut photo corners
- Inconsistent photo background
- Incorrect color temperature (photos appear unnatural)
- Lamination bubbles or peeling
Real IDs tend to have perfectly sealed lamination with no peeling or air bubbles.
6. Check for Missing or Incorrect Microprint
Microprint is very small text that is difficult to counterfeit. Real IDs tend to have microprint in areas such as:
- Borders
- Underlines
- Signature areas
- Fake IDs tend to either:
- Does not have microprint at all.
- Have fake or blurry microprint.
If you can read microprint without magnification, it’s probably fake.
7. Check for Unsteady or Incorrectly Aligned Signature
A real ID signature should be:
- Smooth and even
- Properly aligned within the signature box.
- Fake IDs tend to have:
- Unsteady or uneven signature
Signature cut off or overlapping other design elements
8. Use Common Sense: If the Deal Is Too Good
If the ID is too cheap or the seller offers “perfect, scannable IDs,” that’s a huge red flag.
Most fake ID websites are scams meant to:
- Steal your money
- Steal your personal info.
- Sell your data to criminals
- criminals
9. Red Flags Specifically Associated with IDGod Sites
IDGod-branded sites tend to have scam patterns such as:
- Similar branding on multiple domains
- Lack of genuine customer support
- Lack of shipping tracking
- Cryptocurrency payment only (no buyer protection)
- Fake reviews or fake testimonials
If the site appears to be amateurish or tries to get you to pay using anonymous payment options, it’s a high-risk site.
10. If You Suspect a Fake ID
If you suspect an ID is fake, your best bets are:
- Don’t accept it
- Turn it in to the authorities.
- Don’t get involved in any kind of illicit activity.
Handling or using a fake ID can put you in danger of prosecution, even if you didn’t make it.
Final Thoughts
Fake IDs are more than just “low quality”—they’re illegal and dangerous. The best way to avoid them is to:
✔ Use genuine identification
✔ Steer clear of underground vendors
✔ Be aware of the legal repercussions
If you’re trying to check an ID for safety reasons (such as at a business or event), it’s always best to stick with official ID-verification methods and training.
