What Does a Fake ID Cost in the UK?
A single card from a decent supplier will set you back somewhere between £15 and £35 in 2026. Exactly where in that range depends on who's making it, what materials they use, and how many bells and whistles are on the card.
Price Ranges at a Glance
| Card Type | Price Range | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Budget cards | £15–£20 | Standard PVC card stock, basic print resolution, no security features |
| Standard cards | £20–£30 | Improved print quality, thicker card stock, simple hologram overlay |
| Premium cards | £30–£50 | HD printing, PolyGuard hologram, UV ink layer, machine-readable data grid |
What Pushes the Price Up or Down?
A few things affect what you'll pay:
- Print quality — PET card stock with retransfer printing costs more than basic PVC run through an inkjet. You can see the difference.
- Security features — Holograms, UV ink, micro-text. Each one adds to the cost because each one requires different equipment.
- Personalisation — A card with your own details costs more than a generic template. Custom work takes time.
- Buying in bulk — Order a few at once and the per-card price drops. We do this too (see below).

Pricing Red Flags
Under £10? Almost certainly a scam. Material and printing costs alone make it impossible to produce a genuine PVC/PET card at that price. You'll either receive nothing or a flimsy printout.
Over £60? Unless the card features advanced construction — RFID chips, polycarbonate layers — the price is inflated. Some sellers charge a premium purely to create an illusion of quality.
How to Actually Compare Value
Price on its own means nothing. Look at what you're actually getting:
- Card material — Is it credit-card thickness PET, or bendy PVC that feels like a loyalty card?
- How it's printed — Retransfer or dye-sub printing vs a consumer inkjet. Night and day difference.
- Holograms — Real holographic overlay, or just a shiny sticker? Big difference.
- Shipping — Does it arrive, or does it "arrive"?
- Who's selling it — An actual company with an address, or some anonymous account on Telegram?
