Not yet you can’t. Legitimate verification sites automatically scan the uploaded picture for authenticity and I haven’t seen any ai yet that would manage to circumvent it.
Now if websites are all left to their own about age verification, they’ll be able to toe the line and just have shit verification. If the government gets involved and sets up something that must be used it would be different. Either way it presents huge security risks and problems.
There are fake IDs out there, preportedly AI generated, that can literally pass its barcode being scanned. My assumption is this is only in cases the ID is being checked for accurate data and verification bits, and not cross checking to a centralized database.
But they couldn’t pass the scan check that shows it was a picture taken of a physical ID card, and not a digitized copy, screen grab, or picture of an ID on another phone or computer screen.
You don’t own a printer?..
You know that shiny reflective bit on your ID? That part shows up through a camera very differently than on a printed piece of paper.
I’ve taken photos of my id before, for verification purposes. I am 100% certain you are vastly overestimating the difficulty to create a workable fake.
If the concern is a reflection effect, just replicate that effect pre-printing. If you can’t because they want different angles, just use some holographic tape that mimics the effect.
But keep in mind, the fakes I’m talking about pass scrutiny by cops who have the literal fake in their hands. I doubt a still photo or even video is going to be a huge hurdle.
You don’t understand that there’s not a shiny reflective ink option in your printer?
… You don’t understand that stickers exist? Or that you can replicate the reflection for a specific angle before printing?
Ok. Kudos to you if you find a 16 year old kid that has a good color printer, photoshops out all the reflective portions of an ID, finds and purchases illegally sold transparent reflective stickers that matches up to the ones specifically to his state, and takes a picture of it so he can go back to doomscrolling tiktok vids.
