What is an altered id?

An altered ID refers to a form of identification that has been modified or tampered with to misrepresent an individual's identity. This can include changes to personal information, such as name or date of birth, or physical alterations to the ID document itself. Altered IDs are often used for fraudulent purposes, such as gaining access to services or benefits under false pretenses. Using or possessing an altered ID is illegal and can result in serious legal consequences.
