What Bouncers Actually Check

After years of industry research, IDGod (ID God / IDGods) has identified exactly what bouncers look for. Here are the 10 tells.

1. Card Material

Real IDs feel rigid and have a specific flex. PVC fakes are too bendable. IDGod uses government-spec polycarbonate that passes the bend test.

2. Photo Quality

Blurry, dark, or misaligned photos are instant red flags. IDGod prints photos at 1200 DPI — indistinguishable from DMV quality.

3. Raised Text

Real IDs have raised date of birth text you can feel with your fingernail. Many fakes are flat. IDGod IDs have proper raised DOB.

4-10. Barcode Scan, UV Pattern, Hologram, Font Spacing, Micro-print, Ghost Image, Edge Quality

IDGod IDs pass all 10 checks. That is why we maintain a 98% scan success rate across 700,000+ orders.
