What is a sign that an ID may have been altered?

A sign that an ID may have been altered is the presence of inconsistencies in the text or formatting, such as uneven font sizes, misaligned text, or differences in color that do not match the original design. Additionally, signs of tampering, such as scratches or smudges around the photo or personal information, can indicate alterations. If the ID feels unusually thick or has an abnormal texture compared to authentic IDs, this could also suggest it has been altered.
