Fake ID prices confuse people because every vendor advertises a different number. One site says $50, another says $150, and neither tells you what the card is actually made of. This guide explains exactly what drives fake ID cost in 2026, using the TopFakeIDs price list so the numbers stay concrete.
The short answer: a single standard fake ID costs $85, a polycarbonate card costs $100, and group orders bring the price down to as little as $40 per card. Prices rise or fall based on material, order size and shipping speed, not on vague promises.
What the base price actually buys
Every TopFakeIDs card, at every price point, ships with two identical copies, a custom signature and scannable barcode data. That base package is the same whether you order one ID or fifty. The price differences come from two places: the card material and the number of IDs in the order.
Standard cards: $85, $70, $60, $40
Standard cards use a PVC and Teslin composite, the same combination many real state cards are built from. One to three cards cost $85 each. Order four to nine and the price drops to $70 each. Ten to forty-nine cards cost $60 each, and fifty or more drop to $40.
Standard is the right choice for everyday checks at shops, petrol stations and casual bars. The finish is matte, the printing is clean, and the card still scans correctly.
Polycarbonate cards: $100, $85, $70, $50
Polycarbonate is the premium tier. Modern DMV licences are mostly polycarbonate, so this material gets closest to the look and feel of a current state card. One to three polycarbonate IDs cost $100 each, four to nine cost $85, ten to forty-nine cost $70, and fifty or more cost $50.
The polycarbonate premium buys a semi-gloss finish, stronger blacklight response and UV fused between the layers rather than printed on top. For strict venues, polycarbonate is the safer pick.
How group orders change the math
The fastest way to cut fake ID cost is to order with friends. Four people ordering together pay $70 each instead of $85, which saves $60 across the group on standard cards. Ten people save $250 in total. The per-person price keeps falling because production and shipping are batched, and those savings pass to you.
If you want the full breakdown for every tier, the prices page lists all 84 states and territories with both material options.
What shipping adds
Shipping is a separate line. Standard shipping costs $20 and takes about 20 business days after production. Express costs $50 and takes 10-14 business days. Super Express costs $120, takes 5-8 business days, and is the only option with a delivery guarantee.
Production itself takes roughly 5 business days, so the total wait is production time plus the shipping speed you pick. More detail is in our shipping and tracking guide.
Why cheap cards are usually a trap
If a fake ID costs $30 with free shipping, the vendor is cutting corners somewhere: thinner laminate, no duplicate, recycled barcodes or no real support. A card that fails the first visual check costs more than $85 in wasted nights. Judge fake ID cost by what you receive, not by the headline number.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a single fake ID cost?
A single standard fake ID costs $85 and a single polycarbonate card costs $100, with free shipping not included. Both ship as two identical copies.
Can I really get a fake ID for $40?
Yes. Groups of fifty or more pay $40 per standard card. Smaller groups also save: four to nine cards cost $70 each and ten to forty-nine cost $60 each.
Is polycarbonate worth the higher price?
For strict venues and modern state designs, yes. Polycarbonate has the semi-gloss finish and stronger UV response of current DMV cards, which is what checkers notice first.
Does the price include shipping?
No. Shipping is added at checkout: $20 for Standard, $50 for Express and $120 for Super Express, which is the only guaranteed option.
Do group discounts apply to polycarbonate cards?
Yes. Polycarbonate tiers run $100, $85, $70 and $50 depending on group size, so the same bulk logic applies to the premium material.
