During my 30-minutes lecture I will briefly describe the scale of ID documents forgery, discuss types of security measures used in passports, ID cards and driving licences (both European as well as African and Middle East countries). In the second part of my presentation I will talk about investigation documents forgery and analyse security elements which are most frequently subject to fraudulent modification as well as methods of their production. If time permits, I would like to discuss the most important aspects of visual verification of document holder against the ID photo. Knowing individual features of human face will allow for more effective and more precise verification under strong time pressure and distracting environment.
