How can I verify the authenticity of an ID card by examining both the front and back to ensure it is real?

To verify the authenticity of an ID card, examine both the front and back for security features such as holograms, watermarks, and microprinting. Check for any signs of tampering or alterations, and compare the information on the card with the person presenting it. Additionally, use a UV light to look for hidden features that may indicate the card is genuine.
