- Intro - So I've had this ID for a little bit and have really been pushing off reviews. Idtop was able to hook me up with an Iowa in 2 weeks despite it being December which was impressive. to me. The cost is fair, but I do notice some things that could be improved. So here's my review
Holograms The holograms on this ID are pretty simple, with a flower as well as " IOWA 1846 " in a couple parts of the ID. The holograms for the most part don't stick out like some fakes do too much, but the hologram that goes over the ID photo definitely sticks out a little more than the rest. Still, all holograms on this ID look pretty crisp and catch the light very well.
Template Iowa is a pretty standard looking ID with the statehouse in the background, but it does have some fine line details that idtop does a pretty good job of replicating. The colors on the ID are pretty nice as well, with the microprint being only somewhat visible and the fine line designs done very well. The colors aren't what I have a problem with. Instead, the back of the ID looks kind of dirty. This could work in my favor as it makes it look used, but it just has some odd marks and smudges especially on the back. The edges were also cut a little bit choppy. Another issue is the raised DOB in the bottom right corner. The text is raised, but only a little bit. I definitely would like to see it raised to the touch more in the future. However, the laser perforation is fine and the feel and thickness of this ID isn't bad either.
UV So for as boring as Iowa seems, the actually have a pretty cool UV design. Lot of cool line designs and the flag looks great as well. There's a small UV ink dot that doesn't seem like it should be there on this ID but it's fine. The UV on the front can be seen when the light is facing the back, but that's pretty typical at this point. The back UV looks okay, but the UV ghost image could be a lot better. You can't see any of my facial features lol. It's definitely something that could be fixed in the future. I like the design, just a couple of things idtop can still fix.
PS and Sig Same as usual, ID photo looks fine but the signature could have been made a little bit bigger.
Conclusion Overall it's an okay ID. Not my favorite, but not all that bad either. Idtop has some adjustments to make, but as it stands could maybe work out of state. Not a bad ID to use in the midwest. They arent priced too bad and do occasionally run discounts. Once some work is done to this template, idtop is definitely an option for Iowa.
