21done nIL Review (Fake vs Real comparison) ( self )

submitted by ineedafakeid Warning: 0%

I'm not sure how reviews are being done on this forum any more so if this is breaking a guideline just lmk.

I had wanted a nIL for awhile but knew that there weren't any really reputable vendores for nIL. When I saw HomeDepotEnthusiats' positive review on 21done and that they were offering 50% off I bit.

I'm not sure if they recieved a high volume of orders when they first started 50% off (which is when I ordered) but this ID just feels rushed. The "Illinois" is noticeably too far right, to the point where it hangs over the right edge of the picture. It is also slightly off colored and not at the correct height. The ID picture itself just looks extremely fake, and everyone I've shown it too agreed. I think the problem is with the shadows behind my head, they don't look realistic. My biggest problem with this ID is that I requested them to put my suffix (II) onto the ID, and also filled it out that way on the order form, but it did not come on the ID. Now the fake won't match my secondary id if im asked for it.

The positives to this ID were that it scanned across multiple apps, shipped within 3-4 days, and the information section looks very realistic.

UPDATE: I got in contact with 21done and they explained that I may have been comparing the fake to an older nIL. Also, they explained the issues I was experiencing with the id and offered to get me a new version for free. Great service with these guys. I'll write a new review when I get the new ID

You might be comparing to a 2015/2016. There are variations in the placement of the ILLINOIS and other small details like that. Color is also wildly different from year to year, especially with 2016 being so vibrant. We even have a 2019 Jan vs a 2019 Apr that are pretty far apart in color. The issue with the color and the alignment of ILLINOIS on the top left are the same with real ones issued in 2016 versus now. This is not a problem and something that would be incredibly easy for us to fix if it was.

The suffix issue was because our system is not built to handle that format as we have no real example of it actually happening. I don't mean to say it doesn't happen, I just mean that we cannot properly encode your barcode for you without seeing an example barcode of a real one, so this is not something that we offer. The process of production in regards to something like this is automated and wouldn't have been changed based on a note. A secondary piece of ID showing II versus your ID not showing it is not something that is going to get you disqualified for entry to somewhere. It is entirely possible that you could end up with this situation using real documents, just like with JR or hyphenations. We just don't want to give you something that doesn't scan correctly. I can dig into this personally for you if it's that important to you.

Judging by the picture, we have done multiple updates since this was shipped to you. Contact us on wickr for a free replacement of our newest version. -21done

Since I got a lil shoutout I thought I'd drop by and mention that the side by side I posted a while back is with a 2018 physical.
In the link posted I can see a "6" on the end of the issue date, so the spacing makes sense for 2016. Keep in mind everything after 2016 looks more like your fake in terms of spacing.
As for the suffix, back when I did oIL we did not put numerical suffix's or JR/SR suffix's bc it would have all been one field for firstname, the only field IL has ever had besides first and last is the space they leave for middle initial.
Things may have changed (I am less familiar with nIL in that sense) but back then suffixes were a no.
