Caught Carrying A Fake ID
College is a time of new experiences. For many students, it’s the first step toward independent living. These years are also known for fun, friends and partying.

College-Aged Carrying A False Identification Card
Pennsylvania penalizes those carrying false identification cards in the following ways:
- A first offense carries a fine of up to $300. A second or third offense carries a fine up to $500.
- If you’re convicted, you will receive a 90-day license suspension for the first offense, a one-year license suspension for a second offense and a two-year license suspension for a third offense.
- For those convicted of a first offense, you could face a jail sentence of up to 90 days. For a second or third offense, you could face a jail sentence of up to one year in prison.
In addition to these penalties, students face school suspension or expulsion. Schools handle these matters differently from law enforcement. And in almost every situation, a student will have to deal with separate penalties from the government and the school.
To convict someone of possessing a fake ID, the government must prove:
An individual under 21 years of age, possesses an identification card falsely identifying that person by name, age, date of birth or photograph as being 21 years or age or older or obtains or attempts to obtain liquor or malt or brewed beverages by using the identification card of another or by using an identification card that has not been lawfully issued to or in the name of that person who possesses the card.
