Underage students ask for fake IDs to fulfill their drinking desires. IDGod is a popular fake ID service provider active since the 2000s. With fake ID cards, an underage student gets access to bars and alcohol. Overseas suppliers generate such IDs.
I have seen reports about the American underage students getting access to bars to drink alcohol. It was the time for me to investigate the reality of fake IDs and underage drinking.

During my research an old report caught my attention. Cody Dulaney published it. He was one of the very first people to investigate fake IDs for underage students.
But is it still accessible? That was my question, which made me take the help of local journalists.
I decided to investigate how IDGod creates fake IDs and delivers them to students.
Here is everything that I found during my investigation with local journalists.
IDGod:
IDGod is a Chinese platform for scan-able fake IDs. Their fake IDs are as good as the real ones.
To make the perfect fake IDs, the platform uses UV ink, holograms, micro-printing, and HD scanners and printers.
Counterfeit IDs are not a wise idea to use for identification.
In
America, it is legal to buy fake IDs. But using fake IDs for underage
drinking is an offense. It can cause the bar to shut down or cancel
their license.
History of IDGod:
IDGod was introduced in 2004. It had been operating under a different name since 2000. In 2004, the company decided to register IDGod.com and started running their business online.
ID God’s primary market is the United States’s underage students. It provides fake IDs to students to access bars and drinks.
IDGod has 51.4k searches every month. Thousands of students are spending dollars to get fake IDs.
IDGod
creates fake US driver's license IDs with the students names. These IDs
do not even match the actual face of the student. It is hard to
identify scan-able IDs.
Technology Behind IDGod Fake IDs:
Material:
IDGod
is using laminates, Teslin, and poly-carbonates. It prints laser
engraving like original IDs. It is easy to apply holographs on these
IDs.
Printing:
The
existence of high-tech printing machines and HD printing has made it
easy to scan original IDs and generate fake IDs. Fake IDs often contain
everything that is necessary for an ID to work.
Security:
To make the fake ID look original, IDGod uses holographs, stamps, grafting, UV inks, and laser engraving.
Encoding:
IDGod applies barcode and magnetic strips. The NFC or EFID cloning also helps them to create IDs for students.
Cost and Payment:
IDGod charges costs based on the number of IDs requested by the client.
- $100 for 1 ID
- $80/ID (up to 2)
- $70/ID (up to 4)
- $50/ID (above 5)
IDGod uses various payment options, such as:
- Bitcoin
- Razor Gold Pin
- Walmart Gift Card
- Target Gift Card

IDGod is using technology and strategy to print and deliver fake IDs to students in the United States.

IDGod Review:
IDGod
is a fake ID service popular among US students. It is a way to access
underage drinking. Yet, it is not safe. There is no guarantee that a
fake ID will work. Furthermore, there is no refund policy.
Conclusion:
IDGod is the major player in the fake ID industry. It creates IDs for students that popularized drinking among underage students. The government is making the right decisions and laws to prevent underage drinking. The state has seized thousands of fake IDs every year.
Indiana University also published a detailed investigation about IDGod.
My investigation concludes with the following note.
Note:
It is best to follow the state’s guidelines and wait for the right age
for drinking. Do not use fake IDs. These are not safe.
