As a matter of fact, yes! I used to work as an intern for the company handling drivers licenses here, and there were at least two ways to get a good fake ID. The guy I worked with managed the actual database for years; he probably knew a couple more.

I suspect this thread will be locked down soon. It is illegal in all 50 states and US territories to make or possess fake ID’s.
