I have a bunch of OIS IDs, and let me tell you, this is up there as one of the best IDs they make.

The new Vermont license has all sorts of tiny features which OIS has copied amazingly. This thing has raised text license #, signature, DOB and expiration on the back, and even a tiny little raised text of your initials and birth year right above the state’s name. There is, to quote BarBook “fine-line printing” all over this thing, both in general designs and in microprinting everywhere. The Hologram is kinda like a NH, where it just has the outline of the state in sparkly bronze. I will say that based on the BarBook image, it looks like the photoshop may not be the best (too dark and sharply defined), but I can’t really tell. But then we get onto the best part: the UV. The state of Vermont had the balls to use all-red UV ink, and it looks gorgeous (see pictures below). There are detailed patterns all over the front and back, and I think that anyone who looks at this under a UV light and says no to this can just go fuck off. All of the info showed up correctly when I scanned the barcode, but I haven’t used it yet, so no promises there.

On to OIS’ service, they’re always great. The CS people are super responsive, and their shipping time (new domestic reshipping option!) was excellent, less than two weeks from order to ID in hand.

TL;DR: I love this thing. Vermont came out with a beautiful ID, and OIS flexed on us all by making an amazing fake of it.
