fake ID
Borrowed age, laminated
A fake ID is a forged or altered identification document, typically used by minors to purchase alcohol or gain entry to age-restricted venues: He got caught trying to buy beer with a fake ID.
The term also covers fraudulent documents used for more serious purposes like identity theft or illegal immigration, though the underage-drinking sense dominates casual usage.
