The ability to detect fake IDs can help keep your bar and restaurant safe. Whether you are an alcohol salesperson, bouncer at a club or server at your own restaurant, knowing how to spot a fake id is important for protecting your establishment from ID fraud.
How to Spot a Fake Real Id
Many fake real ids are designed to look like authentic government-issued IDs. These counterfeits are made by manufacturers in Asia or other countries. These fakes usually include ID numbers that are realistically rendered, dates of Birth, and signatures. Sometimes, they are created using magnetic strips or laser engraving.
The holograms on these cards become visible when you hold them up to the sun. These holograms are state-specific and difficult to replicate, which means they can help you easily spot a fake.
How to Spot an Actual ID
A simple tilt will reveal the laser-engraved image on most valid state IDs. The feature isn't on every ID so you will need to know which ones have it.
Some states have laser engraving that you can feel with your finger on the ID number. New York State IDs are the most likely to have this feature.
How to Spot a Fake ID
You can tell if a fake ID is real by having the person sign their name at the back and then comparing it to their actual ID. If the ID has a perfect signature, then it is likely a fake.
To test if the ID is real, you can bend it. It will bubble if it's made of cheap laminate.
You can use a blacklight if the ID was not laminated professionally to look for chalking on the front. These are a sure sign that someone has altered the ID by removing the birthdate and name on the ID and replacing it with their own information.
How to Identify a State Identification
State ID cards are protected from fraudulent use by different security features. Some features can only be seen using a magnifying lamp or UV light, while other require a magnifying device.
Features such as embossing or laser-perforated pictures are all possible. These are ways to spot a false state ID.
How to Spot a fake id by state
The majority of people are familiar with their state-issued IDs. However, knowing the most common states for fake IDs can help you identify possible ID fraud. You should familiarize yourself with these IDs and be ready to identify any differences you might encounter.
FAQ
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
The alcohol in strong drinks is higher than that of weaker drinks. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would need to be 10 proofs while a 16 oz. bottle would require 16. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. The chilled glass is preferred. It is best to have a martini straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
