Our criminal defense lawyer will stand by your child’s side during the entire legal process and do his best to either get the charges reduced or the case dismissed entirely.
What are the Penalties for Possessing and Manufacturing a Fake ID Card?
Possessing a fake identification card is considered a felony offense in Illinois. Depending on how close your child is close to being 18 years old, he or she could potentially serve time in prison. The courts could also make your child pay an expensive fine, serve community service, and have his or her driver’s license suspended.
Manufacturing a fake ID is also a felony. If your child advertises services for making fake ID cards, it is a Class A misdemeanor that is punishable by both jail time and fines.
Keep in mind, being found guilty of either one of these crimes could be reflected on the teen’s record permanently. This could mean that your child will have a hard time finding a job or getting accepted into college.
