The idea is to show how easy it is to identify the original with some simple image searches, and while doing said image searches I found a disturbing story:

The original was taken by someone in Russia, Photoshopped and used in war misinformation! This is the image of the faked passport in the story:
Disturbing fact it was used this way aside, that's actually a pretty good fake all things considered. Let's get a positive out of this and use it as an example on how to spot a fake ID. In this case, look at the date of birth. Notice how the 5 is in a different font to the 5 below it. It's also slightly darker and slightly larger. Now move across to the document number. It has nine zeros, which is not a genuine document number. You usually see numbers like that or 1234567890 on sample documents. It's the little things like this that we're constantly looking for when people ask us if a document is fake. Now you know too, and can hopefully spot fakes more easily in the future.
