Question: Is the mere possession of a fake ID (but not the use of one) a crime?
Answer: Yes it is a crime to possess a fake ID. Using the fake I.D. is also a crime and getting caught using it will get you arrested.
The definition of a crime is doing something that is against the law. By holding a fake I.D. you are committing a crime and therefore breaking the law.
Now, if you never use it, chances are you will never be caught for your actions of breaking the law. This doesn't mean that just because you are not caught breaking the law, that you are not in fact breaking the law by the mere possession of the fake I.D. It is a very, very serious offense. And if you are ever stopped by the police and caught with fake I.D., you will be arrested with no questions asked.

I was busted last night with a Fake ID by an ALE cop. And i didn't get arrested. I also got a ticket for attempting to buy beer. Oh yeah and i didn't get arrested. So as for the statement above you might not go to jail for a fake id you could just get a ticket.

It is against the law to alter a document issued by the state or gov. I was pulled over 2 weeks ago, searched and am going to court tomorrow for charges of an "altered identification" no doubt its a serious offense. I was arrested, had my car impounded, and had to get a lawyer. So far I have invested $1600 and will be more when I am charged.
