Hey folks, has anyone here actually used one of the templates from FakeIDTemplates.org? I’ve been working on a short indie film with some friends, and we need a couple of realistic-looking IDs for a scene at a fake DMV office. I know they say it’s for props and educational use, but I’m still a bit unsure about the quality and how editable those files really are. Would love to hear your firsthand experiences—what worked, what didn’t, and any tips for editing?

Hey, yeah I’ve actually used a couple of their PSD files last month for a student theatre project. We had a scene that needed several state IDs, and I was super impressed by how high-res and detailed the templates were—like, they had all the small elements you’d expect to see on a real one (microtext, layered designs, ghost images, etc.). The best part is that everything in the file was layered properly, so editing names, photos, and other elements was really smooth once I got the hang of it in Photoshop.

If you’re still on the fence, I’d honestly suggest just browsing through what they offer here: https://fakeidtemplates.org/. The site has a big collection of fake ID templates for all kinds of use cases, mostly aimed at creative or educational projects. I’d recommend starting with one of the US templates—they’re usually more detailed. Also, make sure to have a decent font collection and a little patience with layer masks—it pays off. I printed mine on matte cardstock for that “plastic but not too shiny” look and it came out great on camera.

I’ve used them too, mostly for concept art and portfolio mockups. Never had any major issues. Just make sure to double-check all the layers before printing. Some details can be tricky depending on your printer settings.
