When identifying a potentially false identification card, certain physical characteristics can be red flags for forgery.

Option A: Bar code on the backside - This is typically a STANDARD feature on legitimate government-issued IDs - NOT an indicator of a false ID - Legitimate IDs often have bar codes for verification purposes Option B: Raised letters on the face - This is actually a SECURITY FEATURE of genuine IDs - Raised lettering is difficult to replicate - NOT an indicator of a false ID Option C: The card can be peeled apart - THIS IS A STRONG INDICATOR OF A FALSE ID - Authentic government IDs are typically made of solid, integrated materials - A card that can be easily peeled apart suggests a layered, likely counterfeit construction - Genuine IDs have integrated security features that prevent easy separation Option D: Ghost image of the photograph - This is actually a SECURITY FEATURE of legitimate IDs - Ghost images are intentionally added to prevent photo substitution - NOT an indicator of a false ID

The clear indicator of a false ID is that the card can be peeled apart.
