Abstract
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs conducted an investigation into the threat of easily-accessible fake identification acquired through the internet.

The investigation found the threat of false identification was growing in the U.S. due to the ease in which false identification could be procured.
