Isn’t falsifying a passport some kind of major felony? How indeed would they use it without getting arrested? Lol

It’s a federal ID, not a state ID. I assume that makes it a federal crime based on that link above.

It was super easy to make a fake ID out of my passport when I was a kid. I scanned the photo page, Photoshoped it and printed it out on a color printer. I cut out the picture on the printout with a razor, covered it with a lamination sheet and stuck it on top of the real ID. After a quick trim, nobody could tell the difference.

The real trick was that hardly anyone uses a passport as an ID at a bar so bouncers and bartenders didn’t know what to look for in a fake. (It still looked very real for what was almost 25 years ago or more.)

What do you use instead as ID?

In the US a state issued drivers license is the standard. States also issue ID only cards, though these are not very common.

I feel like SovCit is lying. That’s a legit passport but he wants his feelings stoked by the group.

Unfortunately, I think you need a passport number to be able to even book an international flight.
Not like they will spend $$$$ getting to another country to be denied at the border.

Unless they drive, I guess. I feel like it’s “easy” to get into Mexico, and would probably be impossible to get home again.
