Faking ID scans adds a whole layer of law enforcement on top. I'm uncertain about the situation in the US, but in germany the fake itself is punishable by law (up 10 ten years). It also creates more traces to look at and creates work. You'd also need much more information to create a convincing fake id scan of your intended victim. It's all about increasing the amount of work for the would be attacker.

But producing fake scans isn't covered by this law, scans aren't even an official document. In fact, it is illegal for a german company to ask you to send them scans of official documents. > You'd also need much more information to create a convincing fake id scan of your intended victim To fake a good enough passport scan you'd need your victims name. That's all the rep is going to have.
