International Driver's License SCAMS

If a driver has an International Driver's License, understand he has nothing. There is no such thing. There are International Driver's Permits. The permits are in booklet form. They are not laminated like a license. They are made available to people who are traveling and have a legitimate license in thier native country. They expire in 1 year. They must be accompanied by the legitimate license from the native country.
To see if a permit is legitimate:
1) Make sure the ID is not expired;
2) Check for the state logo or seal;
3) Font styles should be consistent;
4) Compare the photo, height and weight on the ID to the person;
5) Evidence of tampering includes glue lines, bumpy surfaces, ripped edges and pin holes;
6) The back of the document should not be blurred or out of alignment. Many scammers are careless about the back of the document;
7) Many staple holes in the document indicate the original cover has been removed and replaced.
Scammers will sell fake international driver's licenses to three types of people:
1) Non-native speakers who believe consumer advertising;
2) Citizens who have had legitimate licenses revoked;
3) People trying to hide their identity including wanted criminals, terrorists and other people who don't qualify for a license.
