Novelty cards are a fun, creative way to add flair to events, cosplay, or personal collections, but understanding their legal use is essential.
At FunFakes, we craft 100% legal novelty cards for entertainment purposes, ensuring compliance with UK laws. This guide explains how to use novelty cards responsibly in 2025, covering relevant legislation, permitted uses, and tips to avoid misuse. Whether you’re planning a hen party or a themed event, here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and have fun.
Novelty cards, like those offered by FunFakes, are designed solely for entertainment and do not replicate official identification. They comply with UK legislation, including:
Identity Documents Act 2010: Prohibits possession of false identity documents with intent to deceive. FunFakes cards feature prominent disclaimers stating they are not official, ensuring they fall outside this law.
Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981: Bans creating or using counterfeit documents. Our cards are original, fictional designs, not replicas of official IDs.
Fraud Act 2006: Criminalises misrepresentation, such as using a card to falsify age or status. FunFakes cards must not be used for such purposes, as this could lead to fines or up to 7 years’ imprisonment.
Disclaimer: FunFakes novelty cards are for entertainment only and must not be used for official or illegal purposes. Misuse may result in legal consequences, and we report suspected misuse to authorities, per our Terms and Conditions at [terms page URL].
FunFakes novelty cards are perfect for a variety of fun, legal activities:
Event Props: Use cards like “Bride to Be” or humorous designs for hen parties, birthdays, or themed gatherings.
Cosplay and Costumes: Enhance your cosplay with customised cards for fictional characters or fandoms.
Collectibles: Create unique keepsakes for hobbies, clubs, or personal milestones.
Gifts: Surprise friends with personalised novelty cards for special occasions.
All our cards include a clear disclaimer to ensure compliance and are crafted for enjoyment, not official use.
To ensure you use novelty cards legally:
Do Not Use for Official Purposes: Never present a novelty card as identification for travel, age verification (e.g., at pubs or clubs), or official transactions.
Keep Disclaimers Visible: Do not alter or obscure the disclaimer on your card, as this could be misinterpreted as intent to deceive.
Check Local Laws: Verify that possessing novelty cards is legal in your area. FunFakes is not responsible for local regulations; consult a legal professional if unsure.
