Legal Passports
The face of the fake document online companies has undergone serious changes recently. A lot of the companies out there are currently under surveillance by US authorities. The list of buy online type companies in Linkbase was considered safe at the time it was written for several reasons including the fact that the establishments operate outside the United States and are safe from prosecution.

What do these companies offer ? Mainly ID cards such as driver licenses and student ID cards. Some of the more professional retailers also offer legal authentic passports. You will also find novelty academic qualifications and companies that sell blank certificates for your personal use. Finally some offer what are called ID Kits.

How it works: ID Cards

The business with the ID cards is pretty straightforward. The companies use professional printing equipment to produce the documents. You would usually have to supply a photograph and fill out a form as you would want the ID printed. If you have reservations about submitting your photograph you can always go with the ID kit option, which is basically a stationery set with everything you need to assemble your own ID. Keep in mind that if you use these state/national ID’s in the country they were issued they will not stand up to official/police scrutiny. The reason being that the police can verify the ID using a computer terminal based in their vehicle. However they can definitely pass the test in the face of club security and Barmen, keep in mind that some clubs employ an ID scanner which can verify that the electronic data imprinted in the ID matches the data printed. A safe bet would be a student ID with no electronic data imprinted, a lot of student ID’s are not backed by a remotely accessed database. Both can be used outside the country of issue as the authorities there do not have an immediate access to other countries’ databases.

How it Works: Academic Qualifications

A similar situation exists with academic documents, a degree that is not backed by an authentic academic institution can be verified quite easily over the phone or email. A few companies offer digitized templates of all kinds of documents, one supplier offers a CD-Rom filled to the brim with templates from international sources. These are useless if you don’t have the proper software and professional hardware equipment for printing and laminating. Such equipment cost is very high and is beyond the reach of the average individual. A few suppliers will claim that you can use your average printer to produce ID’s with their templates, the truth is that the average printer does not have the capabilities to produce documents of acceptable quality, there are also further requirements such as the capability to print on plastic credit cards and produce holographic images.

Legal Passports

One very overlooked service provided is the issuing of legal authentic passports. These are not simply printed by the supplier but are actually provided by a third source, usually a friendly goverment or one with very lenient passport laws. Especially true for certain commonwealth countries. The price can go as high as 1000USD but if you look around you can find the same offer for 400USD. Some of these passports cannot be used for travelling across country borders but they definitely have their advantages. One advantage is that you can use any personal details and photograph you please, you don’t even have to be present at the issuing of the passport. Another advantage is that such identification can be used when setting up Bank Accounts which provide for an advanced form of secret banking.
