Yes, you can go to jail for a fake ID in the UK — and people do, regularly.
Possessing or using a fake passport or replica of an official government-issued driving licence with intent to deceive is an offence under Section 4 of the Identity Documents Act 2010 and Section 6 of the Fraud Act 2006. Maximum sentence on indictment is 10 years for passports and 7 years for replicas of official government-issued driving licences.
Real situations where people went to jail :
Even simple possession of a replica official government-issued document “with improper intention” carries up to 2 years. Using it to rent a car, board a flight, or work illegally pushes sentences much higher.
Police and courts treat exact replicas of official government-issued documents as serious forgery, not “just a night-out ID”. Sentencing starts at 12–18 months custody for a first offence and escalates fast if linked to other crime like obtaining goods or money by deception.
Bottom line: novelty cards that don’t replicate official government-issued documents are legal to own and sell. Anything that looks like a real passport or official government-issued driving licence and is used to deceive will land you in court — and very likely in prison.
All cards sold on Fake ID UK are 100 % legal novelty items compliant with the Identity Documents Act 2010.
