Introduction:
I've bought Ids for me and my friends through OIS before and was quite pleased with their quality. When I got my duplicate fake taken at a club I decided it was time for a new one and figured I'd give their nWA a shot. I had a bit of help from my mate who moved from WA moved to my state and was able to snag his older brother's ID to compare it to and thats really the only reason I chose to write a review other than for the community i guess
Communication : 10/10
Fast response by their customer service. Responded within a few hours when I was asking a few clarifying questions about my picture to make sure I had done it right
Cost : 10/10
Personally, this is subjective to the buyer. I feel like the price I paid was fair given the quality, If I had paid any less I would be getting a steal. I paid $90 for a new state template that came with all the new security features so I feel as if it was fair. It was also nice that OIS provided pics of the security features so I could see what I was going to get
Shipping : Unbeatable
Here's the thing: it came from china in 2 days. I shit you not. I do want to note that I paid express shipping because I'm a bit impatient lol, but the actual ship time took only 2 days. Production time was interfered by a Chinese holiday.
Signature: 10/10
Was the same thickness as the real, nothing else to say.
Template : 7/10
Now, I noticed a few things.
One of the more noticeable things was that the security features that go over the face of the person are much too noticeable. They need to be about 20% more translucent AND need to be a good bit lighter. They're too prominent. The coloring is good though on the template. The back is spot on too
Secondly: There's a string of vertical numbers that reside next to the portrait of the person, but the real has them just next to the portrait (outside of the pic), and the fake has them just inside the portrait (inside the photo). This is a pretty noticeable giveaway imo and should be fixed asap.
Thirdly: on the bottom of the real, there's 3 wavy lines that go through the ID's security features but on the fake the lines are not noticeable at all. It just looks like a scrambled mess / jumble of lines. this is probably the BIGGEST giveaway and should be fixed Immediately along with the line of vertical numbers
Photoshop : 10/10
Weirdly enough, the pic I submitted is clearer than the real Id's picture. Not sure if that'll be a problem but the shadows match up compared to a real one. same color background too
Holograms : 9/10
The tree hologram is spot on imo because it has the same coloring, but the real's is a bit brighter. I don't think this feature should be changed because if it were it might be too bright. It's good as is imo. However, the "washington" that goes across the fake is a bit too prominent. If it were made a bit lighter and had the same amount of effectiveness, this would be a 10/10.
UV : 8/10
So the UV works as it should, it's just the details that are a bit off. the ink in the real is a bit darker and can be seen in the pics. The bigger issue is that lines on the right of the fake don't match the number of the ones on the real. Same with the lower part of the UV. as shown below:
Secondly: The background is slightly off. Its hard to explain but heres a pic that shows the difference. The fake has a similar pattern but its not accurate.
Scanning : 10/10
all info is correct
Conclusion : 7/10
If two large template mistakes and the big UV issue was fixed, I'd say this would pass instate. I really want to stress the template at the bottom of the ID- fix the lines so they actually show up and dont look messy. Also: fix the numbers that are next to the portrait- put them in their right location. As for the UV- make sure there's the proper amount of lines.
What to fix?:
-bottom of ID lines
-UV on the right side of ID needs proper amount of lines, it has too many
-fix numbers next to the portrait to be in their right location.
sorry the pics were so censored lol
