Thanks for providing that. The section you include seems particular to using another person's existing identity, rather than generating / crafting a new one from thin air that isn't you or anyone else, which is what I think the ultimate parent was referring to: > Nowadays, you could autogenerate both, and it's way more expensive to check the [id] than to generate one This section seems the most relevant (?): (5) uses, transfers, or possesses document-making implements to produce false identification or false documents with knowledge that they will be used by the person or another to commit any felony; ..but what if your intent is not for committing a felony, but simply such that X doesn't have your government-issued identification?

I did think about what you're saying when I was looking up the statute, but having looked at these ID scan services, they seem to have put a large amount of time into trying to verify the legitimacy of the ID from the scans and I'm not sure you could easily pass it with an identify crafted from whole cloth? To your second point, yes, you would have to be committing a felony, which you wouldn't necessarily be. I got someone off a burglary charge that way once, since a burglary is defined as entering a premise for the purpose of committing a felony or a theft and the defendant only entered the premises for the purpose of slapping his girlfriend, which was a misdemeanor o_O You do have to be careful though, violating the terms of service of a web site is at least a misdemeanor in a number of states (including Illinois), and is a felony for repeated violations.
