How to spot a FAKE ID

When verifying an ID, confirmation of authenticity often needs to be done quickly, which makes careful scrutiny of the driver’s license or ID card important. Every day retail clerks, bank tellers, police officers, HR managers, and other professionals have to authenticate an identifying document using the naked eye alone.

Over the last decade, U.S. states and Canadian provinces have made significant security upgrades to their drivers’ licenses and identification cards. While some of these features are only visible with special equipment (UV light source, magnification) other security features can be detected by the naked eye, by touch, or by simply tilting a card or holding it up to a light source. The infographic shows some of these easily verifiable features of drivers’ licenses and identification cards.

There is no universal standard for what security features are used on IDs and where they are located on the ID. The ID Checking Guide, U.S. & Canada Edition and the U.S. Identification Manual cover each IDs relevant security features (the Manual offers greater detail). The security features shown in the Infographic, plus an additional 10 security features visible only with special equipment, are included with additional text detail, in the “Security Features” section of the U.S. Identification Manual.

Designing the Perfect Office

In a recent study published by the Journal of American Medical Association that surveyed roughly 29,000 computer users and found that 52.7% were working with at least one form of daily musculoskeletal discomfort which lead to a loss of productivity. Increasing productivity in the office is what every organization strives to achieve. Organizations have noticed that there’s a link between worker discomfort, lost productive time and cost. Addressing these discomfort levels with the right ergonomic furniture is an important business strategy.

Millions of Americans are suffering from lower back pain and having ergonomic furniture in the office can help fight this problem. For instance, ‘hands in lap posture’ is the ideal position for using a keyboard and mouse. An ergonomic office chair is also important so that you’re able to adjust the chair to your liking. Monitor positioning is another important factor and should be adjusted so that the top of your monitor is no higher than eye level.
