What if I get caught with a fake ID in Vegas?

Using My Sister ID In Vegas : Lost Mine!?

  • I lost my ID a week before going to Vegas. I'm 24 already but the DMV said it would take up to 3 weeks to get my id. All they gave me was temporary paper id. I wanted to know if it would be possible to use my sister ID, she is 25 and I'm 24. I was wondering what is the worst that could happen if I was caught with my sister ID. Cause even if I did win big I am legally over 21 already if the police wanted to check at the police station lol. Just want to see what is the worst that can happen (would they just take away her other id or i'll be arrested?). Thanks guys! I'm just frustrated cause I'm wayyy over 21 and it sucks to be still carded... lol maybe i should feel blessed. Anyways thank for you help!

  • Answer:

    First problem would be if you are flying. Your sister's name will not match yours that is on the ticket and you will not be allowed past security. The only problem with winning big is that you would have to fill out the IRS forms and you better have your sisters SS# and fill it out with her info. She will end up paying the taxes though. That would not be using it to commit a crime. Doubt it will even be questioned. Make sure you have her credit card with her name on it. That is another way for them to check. Like you said, you are of legal age.

1) If you win over $1200 you need to show a state issued photo id and your social security number. They file the information (W2-G) with the IRS. You don't want to screw around with the IRS. 2) It is a serious crime to obtain or use documents showing a false or stolen identity. You can be charged with identity theft.

technically it is ID theft, the police can be contacted and you have the possibility of forfeiting any winnings. They will take the ID, remember vegas has some of the best ID guys. I would bring your paper ID, a copy of a birth certificate, and try to find any picture ID's from college or work. The more you bring the better, it happens and the clubs understand. If only you had a passport. You can also call ahead and speak to someone in security. If you are flying you need to do the same with the airline.

Nevada started doing the same thing as the other states. It also takes several weeks to get your new ID. States are running into these problems with travelers. They should allow you to renew a couple months in advance just because of that. Sad that they do it that way but the government is backwards anyways and really could care less about you the people who they work for.

you will be put in Jail it will be considered fraud i know you can get a non drivers license id at dmv immediately tell them your going away and need pic id. you most likely have to pay to have it processed quickly surprised they did not tell you that go back there today before your parents or sis has to bail you out of jail, they are extremely strict these days unless your twins they wont fall for it. I am in my 30-'s and still get carded. I love it everyone thinks i am 28 I am 35!

Never use another persons I.D. The worse that can happen to you is that a police officer charges you with Criminal Simulation, or places you under investigative hold until your plane leaves McCarren Airport. It is not worth the chance. Contact your Division of Motor Vehicles again and explain your situation. I am uncertain why it is taking so long for a replacement. Do you have a sutdent I.D. and birth certificate? I feel comfortable that would work.

Michael that is truly false! Your state is one of the few not doing the digital id-verify, most states are now going with a temporary paper license in which they mail the stuff to a central processing center that prints your id and mails it to you. There have been too many thefts of the laminate backing used when they print them on site, so another thing us normal law obi-ding people get screwed over by. Anyways, I wouldnt risk using her ID. I know I look under 21 so it didnt help my cause any (I am 25), and they checked every detail and even typed in the numbers to the computer and then I got a band to wear so I wasnt carded all the time. This could be different by casino you know, some may be easier on you. I would just use the paper one, and they can type it in and see your info.

In all honesty you might not get into the clubs with the papers; you definitely will not get into the VIP clubs even if you are hot. Sufficed to say you can also get in HUGE trouble for using your sister's ID. You *may* be able to get a passport in 3 days using an expiditer BUT it is very expensive. The reason I mention this is that the TSA and Airlines just started requiring government-produced picture IDs; in the past they could ask for them but you could produce a birth certificate and alternate form of ID and get through security after a little scrutiny from the agent. If you use your sister's ID someone may ask if it is your sister's ID and ask for another ID or a credit card. ...and that's when you get into trouble. Don't game as the security or the NGC agents can ask to see your ID if they think you are underage. ...and as they have already noted... you ain't flying on her ID. You are blessed; enjoy your youth!

Worst things that can happen: If I were you, use the temp. paper w/. any other ID w/ your photo. Don't use your sister ID, unless you are twins. Because if they find out, both of you can be in trouble and both of you might get charge. In California, the clubs or the liquid store will take the ID away and then sent you something in the mail for court hearding.. The court will not care if you lost your ID, they only care that you broke the law. Pros: You can still risk it.. Maybe the bouncer don't care if you do look like her.. However there's still a chance of getting caught. Michael, is not always that right. Not everyone have the time to write to the senatoe

IN this age of digital identification, I cannot believe the cannot produce your ID in one day's time. When I moved from my apartment to a house, DMV reissed my id on my visit. No more than 10 minutes. I would contact the local State Senator and have then rush this through for you. Someone is pulling your leg.
