You didn't even need to use someone else's information, you could just use your own with a different DoB. Growing up, my "fake" ID was my passport. When I applied for it, they read my birth year wrong (I guess my 7 wasn't too legible and they thought it was a 2). I could barely pass for my own age, let alone 5 years older, but it worked most of the time. All my friends ended up using the flaw that I'd inadvertently exposed when their fakes got confiscated. It was just cheaper and more reliable to use an actual government-issued ID.
