It's difficult to make a convincing fake ID, but trivial to make a fake "photocopy" of an ID.

Photocopies are low quality, often black and white. They bypass most, if not all, security features on physical ID documents, can be digitally altered, etc.

Today aren't they just going to look up your license number in a database and compare info? Or is that not done, even for birth certificates?
What license number? Making an interstate license request is one thing, but all of the following are acceptable:

- State-issued driver's license

- State/city/county ID card

- Student ID

- Government employment badge or card

- Prison ID

- Military ID

So if you're creative about how to obtain other ID, surely you can be creative about how to obtain the above?
