FTC to crack down on counterfeit drivers licenses; could diplomas be next?

The good news is that the Federal Trade Commission seems poised to do something about the sale of fake international drivers licenses. Here's today's press release.

The bad news is that the huge Romanian fake degree operation, which also has a very large fake drivers license operation, is not of the six targeted ones.

 

Actually, yes they are. I will email you the information privately.

 

Even "legitimate" international driver's licenses (like those issued by AAA) are worthless on their face. All they serve to do is translate the person's regular driver's license information. IOW, if someone gives me a Brazilian driver's license, the international license will translate the Portuguese into English. If all they have is an international license, they have no license in the eyes of the law.
