So, you’ve chosen your ID style, picked your character name, and you’re ready to place your order. There’s just one thing left: the photo.
A fake ID is only as strong (or hilarious) as the image printed on it. Whether you're creating a novelty badge for a themed party, TikTok skit, cosplay look, or office prank, the right photo turns your card from forgettable to unforgettable.
At IDPapa, we’ve seen it all—from flawless headshots to “I-just-woke-up” masterpieces. This guide is here to help you snap the perfect shot, so your ID looks legit, sharp, and ready to represent your alter ego.
A well-taken photo makes your fake ID look instantly more professional and fun. It's the first thing people notice, and it sets the tone for the whole character you're building. The clearer the photo, the more impactful the result.
Here’s what a great photo does:
Makes your ID look clean and polished
Helps your custom text and layout pop
Adds realism that enhances the joke or role
Avoids blurry or poorly cropped results
This isn’t a passport office—but a few simple tricks can make all the difference.
Use Good Lighting
Natural light works best. Stand near a window or go outside during the day. Avoid harsh shadows or orange/yellow indoor bulbs.
Neutral Background
Use a white or light grey wall, or even hang a sheet or backdrop. Keep it clean so the focus stays on you.
Face the Camera Straight-On
Don’t tilt your head too much—look directly at the camera like you’re taking a school or license photo.
Expression Is Everything
Want to look serious? Do it. Want to go wild? Throw on sunglasses, a crazy smirk, or a fake mustache. Just make sure your face is visible and clear.
Dress the Part
Match your character. If you're the "Lunchroom Enforcer," wear a vest. If you’re the “Dean of Detention,” grab a tie or blazer. The outfit adds context to your role.
Crop it Right
Your face should be centered and not cut off. We recommend shoulders-up. Leave a bit of space above your head.

Each piece of the platform plays a role in making your ID look and feel next-level.
We love your creativity, but here are a few mistakes to skip:
Don’t send a photo with filters (like Snapchat ears or overly smoothed skin)
Don’t crop too close or too far
Don’t use group photos—we need you, not your whole crew
Don’t wear sunglasses unless it fits the joke and your eyes are still visible
Don’t submit blurry or low-resolution pics
We check each image before printing. If it won’t look good, we’ll email you to update it—but let’s save time and get it right the first time.
Most ID websites give you nothing—maybe one sentence that says, “Upload a photo.” That’s not helpful, and it definitely doesn’t inspire creativity.
At IDPapa, we believe in giving value. That’s why this page exists: to walk you through the photo process, give you tips, spark ideas, and help you get the best possible result.
Because you’re not just buying a product—you’re creating a character. And every great character deserves a photo to match.
