Frequently Asked Questions

  • All cards sold on FakeIDs.com are novelty identification cards made for entertainment, collectible, film and prop use. They are not government-issued documents and are not meant to be used as real identification. You are responsible for following the laws in your area, and we ask every customer to keep use lawful and creative.

  • Every order ships with two identical cards, a custom signature, a printed front and back, and the security overlays listed on the product page. We also include discreet packaging and a tracking number once the parcel leaves our facility.

  • Most standard state cards are $50 when you order one to three copies. Premium polycarbonate and United Kingdom cards are $60 at the same quantity. When you order four or more cards, the per-card price drops to $30 for standard states and $40 for premium states. Shipping is billed separately.

  • Production normally takes about five business days after payment clears. During busy periods, such as the weeks before a holiday, it can take up to seven business days. We start printing only after your photo and details pass our quality check.

  • We offer three shipping tiers. Economy shipping costs $20 and takes about 20 business days. Expedited shipping costs $50 and takes 10-14 business days. Super Express costs $120 for up to 10 people and $200 for groups of 10-30, and it arrives in 5-8 business days. Every option includes tracking and discreet packaging.

  • Yes. Each order includes a free duplicate with the same name, photo and layout as the first card. Both cards are printed at the same time on the same material, so you always have a backup.

  • Yes. You can add multiple cards to one order, and the cart applies the bulk discount automatically once you reach four cards. Large group orders also qualify for the Super Express group rate.

  • Use a recent, sharp photo with a plain background, even lighting and no shadows across the face. Stand a few feet back so your head and shoulders are fully visible, and avoid selfies, webcam shots and heavy filters. Our design team crops and color-corrects every photo before printing.

  • Leave the signature field blank and we will create a clean signature from your name. If you prefer to upload one, use a black pen on plain white paper, take the photo straight down in good light, and fill most of the frame with one signature.

  • No. We never ask for a photo of your real identification. You only upload the photo you want printed on the card, plus an optional signature.

  • We treat your information carefully. Files are used only to produce your order, access is limited to the production team, and uploads are removed after printing. We never sell or share customer details with third parties.

  • The catalogue covers all 50 US states, Washington DC, British Columbia and Quebec in Canada, and United Kingdom licences. Standard PVC/Teslin cards and premium polycarbonate versions are available for many states.

  • US state cards are printed with the barcode layout used by that state so they scan on standard readers. United Kingdom licences are different: real UK cards have no barcode or magnetic stripe, so our UK replicas match that instead and are verified visually and under UV light.

  • Standard states are printed on a PVC and Teslin composite, which matches the material many DMVs still use. Premium states are printed on polycarbonate, the harder, more modern card stock. Polycarbonate cards take laser engraving and embedded UV elements better, so they are our premium tier.

  • Yes. On standard PVC/Teslin cards the UV element is applied as an overlay and can look fainter under a blacklight, which is normal for that material. On polycarbonate cards the UV element is embedded between layers and shows a strong, clear response.

  • Standard cards carry the correct UV overlay for their state but may appear fainter than the real document because the UV is surface-applied. If you want the strongest blacklight response, choose the polycarbonate version where available.

  • After you submit the order form you are redirected to our secure payment gateway. You can pay with Bitcoin or Litecoin, or with card and mobile wallets such as Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. We never email wallet addresses; payment details appear only on the gateway.

  • Check the spam folder first, then confirm the email address you entered has no typos. We recommend Gmail or ProtonMail for order emails because some providers such as Comcast and iCloud block automated messages more often. Email order@fakeids.com if nothing arrives within a few hours.

  • If production has not started we can usually update your details. Email order@fakeids.com with your order number and the exact changes as soon as possible. Once printing begins, changes are no longer possible because each card is custom-made.

  • Because every card is personalized, we cannot accept change-of-mind returns after production starts. We do cover production errors, damage in transit and lost packages, and we offer cancellation within 24 hours if printing has not begun. See the Refund Policy page for the full terms.

  • We revise designs when a new version is well established, but we do not guarantee same-week updates. If your card must match a very recent redesign, email us before ordering and we will confirm which design version is currently in production.

  • The Terms and Conditions page explains acceptable use, age requirements, reprints and refunds, privacy, liability and the other rules that apply to every order. By ordering, you confirm you are at least 18 and will use the card lawfully.
