Isn't falsifying a passport some kind of major felony? How indeed would they use it without getting arrested? Lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

They'll be very surprised when it happens!

It's a federal ID, not a state ID. I assume that makes it a federal crime based on that link above.

It was super easy to make a fake ID out of my passport when I was a kid. I scanned the photo page, Photoshoped it and printed it out on a color printer. I cut out the picture on the printout with a razor, covered it with a lamination sheet and stuck it on top of the real ID. After a quick trim, nobody could tell the difference.

The real trick was that hardly anyone uses a passport as an ID at a bar so bouncers and bartenders didn't know what to look for in a fake. (It still looked very real for what was almost 25 years ago or more.)

What do you use instead as ID?

[–] lama@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

In the US a state issued drivers license is the standard. States also issue ID only cards, though these are not very common.

I feel like SovCit is lying. That’s a legit passport but he wants his feelings stoked by the group.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

stifling a giggle Ok now try to use it.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago

He doesn't know how lol

[–] towerful@programming.dev 18 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately, I think you need a passport number to be able to even book an international flight.
Not like they will spend $$$$ getting to another country to be denied at the border.

Unless they drive, I guess. I feel like it's "easy" to get into Mexico, and would probably be impossible to get home again.

It's a regular U.S. passport, right? Went through hell? You bring a couple of identifying documents to the post office, they take your picture and you give them money. If you expedite it, it's super expensive. That's pretty much it.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Concensus seems to be they may have gotten a forged one. Which would better explain the hassle. A normal passport is easy to get.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it's that easy Mr smarty pants, then what angle and color do I sign my name?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Depends. Was their fringe on the flag at the post office where you contracted? Admiralty law can be confusing, but I hope you paid with a bill of exchange. Did you capitalize all the letters of your name? That is your corporate shell entity not you. Perhaps we should talk this through to be sure you properly utilized negative averment and truth language. This all assumes you've already issued your UCC-1 statement of course.

So I had to look this one up, and admittedly my patience for these rabbit holes peters out, but yes, it's most likely a regular passport.

I guess they do some SovCit shenanigans while applying and they think it makes it a super-secret diplomatic and sales-tax immunity passport that will 100% for sure you guys show up when it's scanned, especially when you wave it in front Darlene at Walmart who defintely has time for your bullshit. It's all been reinforced by the fact that different batches of land-transit passport cards will come with different numbers of asterisks towards the top, so they think there's a magic code there that is related to status and privileges.

I'm guessing they had to keep dialing back the crazy until the State Department was finally willing to process their application, and surprise surprise, our SovCit friend found that process onerous.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Easy for a normal citizen. Sovcit probably tries to pass a bunch of bullshit sovcit documents instead of the required ones.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Most of us do it online now.

[–] Fleur_@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

They're gonna start paying fake taxes so they don't have to pay for real taxes

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 15 points 2 months ago

I though sovcits were scared to leave America in case they catch communism

Hey hey! So this sovcit actually has a successful cheese business in Georgia?!? Good for them! Usually when I see these people, they only do side jobs or something.

Ahh! Thank you!

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You went through all that effort without knowing why? Wtf.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because some guru tells them to.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Beats paying child support, I guess.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You went through all that trouble for something and you don't even know what it's supposed to do for you?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"someone told me I needed it"

Motherfucker, you NEED a driver's license and a job.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Or, and hear me out, just the REAL magic words that replace the driver’s license and get you that sweet secret government trust fund bullion. I’ll take that worthless paper stuff upfront.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 11 points 2 months ago

Forging legal documents will totally help your case.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm afraid he means Georgia the nation, instead of the US state, because he doesn't know the difference.
