How to Identify a Fake Driver's License?
1 Answers
Methods to identify a fake driver's license are as follows: 1. Online verification: Open a browser on your computer or mobile phone, access the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform; select the location of the driver's license you wish to verify, enter the local comprehensive service management platform, choose "Information Query," then select "Driver's License Score Query," and enter the driver's license number and file number of the license you want to verify. 2. Check the anti-counterfeiting marks: There are significant differences in the anti-counterfeiting marks between real and fake driver's licenses. The anti-counterfeiting mark on a real license shows the word "China" as a dot matrix pattern, composed of dots and appearing blurry, while a fake license uses vector graphics with block-like strokes that appear clearer. 3. Examine the fonts: Check if the handwriting, color, and material on the main and secondary pages of the license are consistent. If they are inconsistent, it is likely a fake. Apart from the printed fonts, all other text on the license is printed with a dot matrix printer, showing noticeable pin holes in the characters. Additionally, you can look for special fonts. Below the phrase "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License," there is an English translation where the letter "a" in the word "China" uses a special font that can be seen under a magnifying glass. 4. Inspect the seal: Genuine driver's licenses typically use red fluorescent anti-counterfeiting ink for the seal, and some are hand-stamped. Pay attention to the color when checking. Moreover, the red seal in the lower-left corner contains letters that are only visible under a magnifying glass. 5. Look for the metal strip: On the right side of the back of the license, there is a metal strip that also contains letters and text.
