The Do’s and Don’ts of presenting a fake ID without getting caught

College students are notorious for using fake IDs to gain entry into bars, clubs, and any other establishment serving alcohol. Ever since you turned 18, it may feel like ID checks have been everywhere you turn. Whether you’re trying to get into a bar or board an airplane, your ID has become your ticket to freedom. 

Owning your independence is one of the most exciting parts of being an adult. After all, what’s the fun in drinking and socializing if you can’t do it under your own steam? But fake IDs can land you in real trouble. If you’re planning to use a fake ID in order to get into a bar, here are 8 tips on how to do it without getting caught.

Do’s

Take a clear picture to post on the card

There are a lot of fake id 2022 websites online, so many that it is actually hard to choose one. Most websites have the same requirements when it comes to posting your picture — take a clear picture of yourself holding the ID with a white background. In order to pass as an older person, you should look as professional as possible. Make sure that your hair is combed and you are not wearing your cap backward or something. Many fake id sites will even allow you to upload a photo from your computer or even a cell phone. Choose a photo that looks realistic. Blurry pictures are hard to make out, so it is better to retake the picture. It’s also best to take pictures during the day. If you take a picture at night, it is harder to see what you look like. Also, make sure you have a nice background. A messy background makes it hard to see what you look like. Look for a professional fake ID-making company to prepare your card.

Memorize all the information on the card no matter how excited

If you’re planning on using a fake ID to buy alcohol or get into a bar, you should not get too excited, or else you’ll end up making a lot of silly mistakes. Getting caught with a fake ID is no laughing matter and can mean a night in jail or worse. But if you’re still set on getting into those 21-and-over clubs, stay composed and memorize all the details on the card like they are your own to help you get in with flying colors. The bouncer will surely ask several trick questions from you if they sense something. So make sure you are prepared to tackle them easily by memorizing information.

Dress older

When you present a fake ID, the bouncer or bartender is looking for a few things. One of these things is whether or not you’re underage. When you look older, you’re obviously more likely to pass. When you dress older, you’re not only passing the bouncer’s visual inspection, but you’re also passing their judgment. If you look older, you’re less likely to get called out for your ID. For inspiration, look at the adults around you or someone in their 30s to dress alike and also have the same body language and get accepted quickly.

Commit your zodiac sign to memory before showing the card to the bouncer

You’ve probably heard of the saying that bartenders are psychic. They can often tell if you’re not old enough to drink. They know because they’ve been in your shoes before, and they have seen every trick in the book. To avoid getting caught, you have to think like a bouncer and trick your mind into believing you’re already 21. One way to do this is by memorizing a fake birthday. But don’t just memorize it; commit to memory. The key is to commit to it wholeheartedly. The more you believe that you are 21, the less likely the bouncer will be able to tell you’re not. Research your fake birthday, search for your star sign on Google and commit to memory exactly what your sign is. For example, if you’re born on July 21st, you’re a Cancer.

Memorize your zodiac sign before showing the card to the bouncer; this way, you are able to recite it without thinking, giving the impression that you are an actual Cancer. Also, make sure you do your research and know what you’re talking about. Try to keep your answers short, but don’t be afraid to speak up. Lastly, match the name on your ID to the name that you are going by.

Don’ts

Nervous hands when presenting the card

When a bouncer or bartender catches you trying to use a fake ID, they will ask you to pass your card through the card reader. This is a simple way to quickly identify a fake ID. If you are nervous and your hands are shaky, there is a higher chance the readers will pick up the movement and sound an alarm. This can lead to a quick ID being confiscated.

While this is easy to forget, this is possibly one of the most important things not to do when presenting a fake ID. The bouncer or person checking the ID will be able to see whether or not you’re nervous and will most likely pick up on the fact that you’re presenting a fake ID. They’ll know straight away if you are fidgeting 

A group of friends looking like they are on a mission before entering the show or liquor shop

In this day and age, fake IDs are easier to get than ever. However, it is important to know what not to do when carrying one in order to avoid getting caught. The easiest way to avoid getting caught is to use common sense. Don’t try to look like you and your friends are trying to do something other than using it in a bar. Don’t use it if you’re going to a liquor store seconds after creating an obvious ‘effective’ entering plan. 

Keeping the expiration date of the ID holder and changing the birth date

The expiration date of any identity card is proof that the card is authentic and can be used to verify identity. You can change the photo and even the name of the person on the ID, but tampering with the expiration date will easily identify the card as fake. When you change the birth date of the ID holder, you are actually making the same scenario. You are claiming that the person was born on a certain date, but in reality, the person might have been born on a different day. The government strictly prohibits the use of fake IDs for any illegal activity, so you need to be careful.

Not taking another form of ID 

If you are over 21 and need to get into a bar, club, or even buy alcohol, you might be required to show some form of identification. The two most common forms of ID that people use are a driver’s license and a state-issued ID. While these two forms of identification are often accepted as proof of identity, there are times when a bouncer, bartender, or clerk might require you to present another form of ID. If you don’t have another form of ID on you and you get turned away from a bar, club, or liquor store, you might have to wait until another day to get wasted. If you only have a driver’s license or a state ID, you might want to consider getting a second form of ID to use in case you ever get turned away from a bar or liquor store.

The most obvious thing to do when you’re taking a fake ID to a bar or liquor store is to have another form of ID in your wallet. This can be your driver’s license or any other form of ID to prove that you are over 21. This is a common tactic used by bouncers and store owners to prove that you are lying about your age. The only way to avoid this is to have another form of ID.
