In 2014, the National Notary Association (NNA) ran an ID-matching survey. They asked notaries from across the country to look at 18 sets of photos—one of an actual driver’s license; the other a candid shot either of the person on the ID or an imposter—and verify if it was the same person in each photo.
Of the nearly 3,000 participants, the imposter was identified as the person on the ID 32 percent of the time. Even more interesting, the photos of people who matched their IDs were labeled imposters 31 percent of the time.
