"May I see your driver's license or ID please?"

When a person hands out an out-of-state license or ID, how do you know it's valid? Is it altered...forged...or stolen? Con artists count on your confusion.

Now you can be a step ahead of them with the I.D. Checking Guide. In 96 pages, it shows every valid license format -- in full size and full color. Even a quick glance says "This ID is phony!"

The I.D. Checking Guide makes you an expert... so no con artist fools you.

Checking IDs from your own country or driver's licenses from your own state may be easy enough. But the odds are against your catching out-of-state frauds... unless you have these valuable guides.

The I.D. Checking Guide tells you what to look for clearly, simply... with a separate page for each state.

Checking an Arkansas ID? VIEW SAMPLE to see full-color, actual size photographs of the valid licenses. Then check the secret details that point out "fakes":

REQUIRED VALIDATIONS: Does the signature overlap the photo? Is the state seal on the photo?
LICENSE NUMBER CODING: Should it have digits only? A special first letter? A combination of letters and digits? Is the spacing correct?
OVERALL LOOK: Should it be laminated? Have a reflective surface? Patterned stock? Embossing?
TERM OF LICENSE: Is it valid 2, 3, 4 years or more? Does it expire on the birth date or at the end of the birth month?
KEYS FOR MINORS: Is the photo in profile? Posed at 45-degree angle? Has a color backdrop? What number is in the "restrictions" box?
VALID FORMAT: Which prior issues are no longer valid? When are the new formats in effect?

Testimonial
"I was sworn in as a deputy-sheriff for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department in CA in 1971 -- and one of the first "cop tools" that I bought was the first edition of the ID Checking Guide. Using the ID Checking Guide as an investigative tool, I caught my first car thief a few weeks later. Over the years, I've found that the Guide is one of the most effective crime prevention tools available for many industries -- particularly law enforcement, retail and financial services." -- Dana Turner, Security Expert and Trainer
