You see the laminated layout: photo portrait (short-desc face), address, and ID number. If you have introduced yourself to the viewer, they also read your legal name on the card; strangers see the portrait without your name.

Real state IDs come from chargen or the courthouse clerk (help id).
Forged cards use the same layout with falsified info -- see help forgery.

Federal rooms may pierce low-tier fakes. Matching appearance helps pass checks.
