So how does a real ID work?
Here, places verify you over the phone by the last 4 digits of your social security number, so you have to keep it secret.
If I'm evil and know your ID what can I get away with without a card? And what can I do with a decent fake card?
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoThere are different systems for different things. The Id card is typically verified by looking it up in a database and by a person comparing your picture. For online usage you need digital identity cards and they have two factor or are hardware tokens.
