Fake Driver's Licenses


FAKE driver's licenses seem like they can help -- get you aboard  a plane, get you inside a government building,  cash a check, or get a job -- until the fraud is detected.

"In the words of the 9/11 Commission, 'for a  terrorist, an ID can be as important as a weapon.' "



Any job applicant must realize that   USING A FAKE DRIVER'S LICENSE IS A FEDERAL FELONY.

In just over two years, tough new Federal rules will require all states to CONFIRM an applicant's legal status, Social Security Number, and other information before they issue that applicant a driver's license.

But, the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License says that terrorists and criminals unable to produce the necessary documentation to get a valid driver's license will resort to forgeries.   "People who are living under assumed names are going to find out that they are blocked at the Driver's License Bureau from obtaining a valid ID, and they will seek out high quality counterfeits."

The Forensics Document Lab, of the Department of Homeland Security, Division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), contains a library of authentic driver's licenses issued by every state and U.S. territory which they use to compare to presumed counterfeits.

While fakes might look real to the naked eye, once under a microscope they are often easy to detect.   New overt and covert security measures have made the job of forgery more difficult.

As counterfeiting has become more sophisticated and costly, organized crime has been trying to cash in.   ICE says that the organizations are very sophisticated, but arrests in numerous states have been happening.

On a regular basis for each requested jurisdiction, The Integrity Center, Inc. checks alias names and any suspicion of letter or number inversion, falsification, or deletion, when possible, to detect criminal records.   This pays off for our clients.   In the last month alone, an applicant with a bank robbery record, and an applicant with a forgery record, were detected --- each supposedly concealed by the job applicant attempting deception by providing fraudulent data.

Remember, you can always call   The Integrity Center, Inc.   to discuss topics anytime at   (972) 484-6140.   Helping you with your Risk Management and HR Automation is what we do.
