Obviously your local pub / video store wouldn't have access to personal info., but as yet we don't know exactly what info. will be visible on the card - maybe DoB, photo, probably not address (although that is on a drivers licence), dunno what else.

Show a few pieces of info oh say Birth Certificate etc.
All things that can be forged, allowing false cards to be obtained because the gov issuing dept concerned is overrun & understaffed.

Sort of ruins the point of them.
Same as Passport I suppose, but I don't know what checks the Passport Office run.

Virtually anything can be forged except fingerprints and iris scans. Nothing can be perfect.
