I come across many fake DL's but had a Virginia license that looked very very authentic a few nights ago. The way I discovered it is the female had an address on on her license with a city in Northern VA. I also found a pay stub that had the exact same street address but with a city in Maryland (her real address). This caught my eye so I ran the soundex through VA which did not come back. Then did a browse through MD and she popped up with the correct DOB (VA license says she was 23 when she was really 20).
I compared this to a known real VA license and they were identical as far as I could tell. I'm generally good at picking out fakes but this one was good. I have a book that shows current DL's from each state (I think its from Anheuser-Busch) and there was no way to tell.
So, couple of questions....How often do you guys come across very authentic fakes? I'm not talking about the obvious fakes but something that looks like the real deal. Additionally, are there any publications available for LE that shows different security features that aren't in the Anheuser-Busch?
