Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fraud-proof identification document, consisting of a laminate of two uniform and completely overlapping, transparent covering sheets of thermosetting plastic material, which at their inner sides have been provided with a thin adhesive layer of thermoplastic plastic material and have been laminated on to each other by hot-pressing while enclosing the identification data.
  • the invention also relates to the making of such identification documents.
  • a thus prepared identification document does offer a primary protection against forging, but does not completely exclude this possibility, as it remains possible to remove the laminate by a heat treatment, change the data of the document, for example by applying another passport photo, and subsequently laminate the thus forged document anew.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide an identification document, which is absolutely fraud-proof, and in which disengaging the laminate inevitably leads to destruction of the identification data enclosed.
  • thermosetting material for example a high-grade polyester.
  • This sheet 1 is coated with a thin layer 2 of thermoplastic adhesive material, for example ethyl vinyl acetate.
  • the dimensions of this sheet have been selected such, that as seen in fig. 3, a series of identifications can be applied thereon next to and under each other (identifications 1 through 6).
