Safeguard Your Business with Reliable Fake ID Detection

At Minor Decliner, we understand the daily challenges convenience stores, bars, college stores, college stadiums, and retailers face in preventing underage sales of age-restricted products like tobacco, alcohol, and lottery tickets. While hefty fines for underage sales are a major concern, the risks go far beyond financial penalties. Selling to a minor with a fake ID can damage your business’s reputation, lead to license suspensions, legal issues, and most importantly, put underage individuals at risk.

The Growing Threat of Fake IDs

The rise in fake IDs poses a significant challenge for businesses. According to the CDC, underage drinking is responsible for approximately 4,000 deaths annually. In Oneida, New York, a sting operation conducted by the DMV’s Field Investigations division highlighted the scope of the problem—over 312 people were cited, and 389 fake IDs were seized. This operation underscores just how easily minors can obtain fraudulent identification.

Similarly, a pilot program in Charleston, South Carolina, found that 3% of IDs scanned by late-night businesses serving alcohol were fake. Using Intellicheck software, businesses were able to verify IDs effectively, enhancing their ability to spot fraudulent IDs and improve existing protocols.

Minor Decliner’s own data further highlights the severity of the issue. Our fake ID checks reveal that approximately 8% of IDs scanned were found to be fake, emphasizing the importance of robust age verification systems.

How to Spot Fake IDs (And Why It’s Tough)

The first line of defense against fake IDs is a thorough manual inspection. Intellicheck, a trusted partner used by law enforcement and financial institutions, offers a helpful guide for manual ID checks:

- Match the photo: Verify that the photo on the ID matches the person presenting it. Pay close attention to facial features like ears, eyebrows, and bone structure.

- Check the details: Confirm that critical information like birthdate and expiration date is accurate.

- Look for security features: Familiarize yourself with your state’s ID design elements, such as ghost images and state seals.

Despite these manual checks, counterfeit IDs are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making them harder to detect by sight alone.
