If you’re a university student or a nightclub enthusiast, having a custom fake ID for fun or entertainment purposes can be a cool addition to your collection. Whether you need it for pranks, themed parties, movie props, or novelty purposes, designing a realistic fake ID requires attention to detail and the right tools.

This guide will take you through the step-by-step process of creating a high-quality fake identification that looks professional and scannable, so you can enjoy using it for entertainment without hassle.


Step 1: Choose the State or Country for Your Fake ID

The first step in designing your custom fake ID is selecting a state or country template. Some states are known for having easier-to-replicate designs, while others use complex security features.

Best U.S. States for Fake IDs:

✅ California – One of the most popular designs with simple security features

✅ Texas – Common among university students, with a bold design

✅ Florida – Used by many fake ID creators, with bright color schemes

✅ New York – Complex holograms but highly sought after

✅ Illinois – Has a stylish layout and easy-to-read fonts. 

Pro Tip: If you plan to use the ID at nightclubs, bars, or casinos, make sure the state you choose is common in that region. If a nightclub bouncer rarely sees a certain state’s ID, they may inspect it more closely.

Step 2: Gather High-Quality ID Design Templates

Once you've chosen the state, you need a template to start designing. The easiest way to get a high-quality fake ID design is by downloading an editable PSD template from trusted sources.

Where to Find Fake ID Templates:

Graphic Design Websites – Some online resources provide editable templates

Photoshop Forums – Many designers share templates for personal use

ID Vendors & Online Communities – Some vendors sell pre-made PSD files

Make sure your fake identification template includes:

✅ Background design matching the real ID

✅ Proper fonts and spacing

✅ Holograms and watermarks (if applicable)

✅ Barcode section for scannability

Pro Tip: Look for a Photoshop (PSD) file rather than a JPEG image. PSD files allow layer editing, meaning you can customize every detail easily.

Step 3: Use Photoshop or ID Card Software

To customize your fake ID card, use professional software such as:

✅ Adobe Photoshop – The best tool for editing layers, fonts, and graphics

✅ GIMP (Free Alternative) – Works similarly to Photoshop and is free

✅ ID Card Design Software – Some websites offer custom ID generators

 Editing Your Fake ID in Photoshop:

    1. Change the personal information – Name, date of birth, address

    2. Adjust fonts – Match the original font style of the real ID

    3. Insert your photo – Use a clear, high-resolution headshot with a neutral background

    4. Add a signature – Sign on a white sheet, scan it, and overlay it on the design

    5. Modify barcodes and QR codes – Generate scannable barcodes using online tools

Pro Tip: Ensure that the font spacing, size, and alignment match the real ID to avoid suspicion.

Step 4: Take a Professional ID-Style Photo

Your fake ID photo is one of the most critical elements in making your ID look authentic. Many people get caught because they use bad-quality photos that don’t match the style of official ID cards.

How to Take a Perfect Fake ID Photo:

 Use a white or light gray background (avoid busy backgrounds)

 Wear neutral-colored clothing (avoid logos or graphic designs)

 Keep a neutral facial expression (no smiling or tilting your head)

 Use even lighting (no shadows on your face)

 Crop to passport size (1x1 ratio works best)

Pro Tip: You can use online passport photo tools to automatically crop and format your image correctly.

Step 5: Print the Fake ID on High-Quality PVC Card Stock

Printing your fake identification on regular paper won’t work—it must be printed on a PVC card with a professional ID printer.

Where to Print Fake ID Cards?

✅ Online Print Shops – Some printing services allow custom designs

✅ PVC Card Printers – Machines like Evolis Primacy can print ID cards at home

✅ Local Print Shops – If you bring your own blank PVC card, some shops may print it for you

Fake ID Printing Requirements:

PVC Card Material (Plastic, not paper)

HD Printer (300dpi or higher) for sharp images

Dual-sided printing for realistic back design

Pro Tip: If you want a scannable fake ID, make sure the barcode and QR code print clearly without pixelation.

Step 6: Apply Holograms and Security Features

One of the biggest giveaways of a low-quality fake ID is the lack of holograms, UV prints, or microtext. To make your custom fake ID look more realistic, you should add these features:

 Hologram Stickers – You can order hologram overlays online and stick them onto your ID

 UV Ink Printing – If you have access to a UV printer, add invisible security markings

 Microprinting – Use a small text layer to mimic official government ID designs

Pro Tip: Some fake ID vendors sell pre-made hologram overlays that you can easily place over your printed ID.

Step 7: Test Your Fake ID for Scannability

Before using your fake identification, it’s important to test whether it scans correctly. Many nightclubs, bars, and casinos use ID scanners, so having a barcode that works is crucial.

How to Test Your Fake ID:

✅ Use an ID scanning app (like BarZapp or Scanner) to check barcode validity

✅ Scan it at a self-checkout machine (some stores scan ID barcodes)

✅ Try it with an RFID reader if you added an RFID chip

If your fake ID doesn’t scan, you may need to generate a new barcode using an online barcode generator

Final Thoughts: The Key to a Perfect Custom Fake ID

Designing a custom fake ID requires careful attention to detail, high-quality printing, and scannable features. If done correctly, a fake identification card can look extremely realistic and pass many visual and scanning tests.

 Essential Fake ID Checklist:

✅ Choose the right state or country template

✅ Use a high-quality PSD file and edit carefully

✅ Take a professional ID photo

✅ Print on PVC card stock with a high-resolution printer

✅ Add holograms and security features

✅ Ensure the barcode is scannable

By following these steps, you can create a fake ID card that looks and feels authentic, making it perfect for nightclubs, entertainment, and collection purposes.
