    I really feel for these folks getting conned into thinking that these will work for any identification requirement. So many contradictions, like why is there an expiration date? I suppose it adds to some legitimacy to the document for the sovcit crowd.

      I’m curious where they get those official looking UN numbers. And also wonder where the QR code links to. I’m assuming it’s random.

        There was another id posted before. If I remember right it leads to a page that also has all the information on the card.

        Most of a QR Code is redundant data so it’s still possible you can decode it, and the positioning marks are still there, but you’d probably have to remake the timing marks along the left, also idk how alignment marks work on a QR this big since some would be missing too (edit: actually only one and a half are gone).

      My drivers license has an expiration date though… I have to renew it every X years.

        Thats because you didnt write your wet ink signature in red ink at a 45 degree angle when you applied. You also have to declare that you do not accept the terms of the contract and prefer indefinite extensions under Title 18 chapters 213 and 214.

        If you do that, you don’t have to renew you license anymore.

          What are you talking about? This is nonsense. All that you wrote there is useless and won’t work… if you keep forgetting the CAPS requirement…
