The United States does not have a national ID system, but there are a variety of documents that can be used as proof of identity, such as driver’s licenses, passports, and social security numbers (SSNs). Driver’s licenses are the most commonly used proof of identity for Americans because they are universal and contain photos, but they are not ID cards. Passports are mainly used for international travel, while SSNs are mainly used for tax and social security matters and are not used as daily proof of identity.
Fake ID cards are used in certain situations, especially in situations where age restrictions apply, such as purchasing alcohol or entering certain places. However, these actions are illegal and may have serious legal consequences, including fines, criminal charges, and even deportation. Driver’s licenses and passports in the United States have strict anti-counterfeiting measures, but Chinese students and some people forge these documents to evade the law, which is not only unethical but also extremely dangerous.
The difference is that real proof of identity is obtained through official channels, has legal effect and security anti-counterfeiting technology, while fake ID cards are illegally manufactured and used, which not only violates the law, but may also endanger personal safety and social security.
