Comprehensive FastTrack IDs Review - Illinois ID - 7.6/10
Just got my FastTrack IL ID last week. Overall it's solid—good front template, scans fine, but the lamination feels a bit thick and plasticky compared to a real one. Back printing's slightly off on the font weight, but fine for bars. My photo was accepted first try, no issues. Curious if others had to retake theirs or if I just got lucky.
Nice thorough review! Honestly, I had a similar experience with FastTrack — barcode issue on my first IL, but their customer service was on point and they got me a reprint super fast. Only thing I'd add is the photo saturation bugged me too, but tbh my replacement was slightly better. Solid 7.6 feels right. Worth it if you don't mind the wait.
Just finished testing my FastTrack IL ID. 9 day turnaround, which is pretty solid. It passed 19 out of 21 spots, including a Box app scanner — that surprised me a bit. Honestly, the only real issues are the finish is a little too matte, and the card feels, like, brand new. So for daily use, it's a solid B-tier. Just don't expect it to fool a really thorough bouncer. I'd say 7.6/10 is fair.
Yeah, I grabbed one of their IL IDs too. 13 days to my door, and the stealth packaging was solid. I've hit 8 spots so far—only fail was at a Walgreens with a cashier who went hard on UV. Honestly, just stick to local places and it's fine. The blue is a bit off, but you won't notice it in dim bars. So yeah, solid 7.6/10 for daily use.
Nice write-up, man, thanks for sharing. I've been going back and forth on trying FastTrack IDs for my Illinois, but your value analysis pretty much sealed it. The UV thing's a bit of a bummer, but honestly for bars and casual use it's probably fine. I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger now—especially if they're still running any promos. Appreciate the honest breakdown. Sounds like a solid 7.6 to me.
Nice write-up. I used FastTrack for an IL too, and honestly, I pretty much agree – stealth shipping was on point, and the turnaround was solid. My only gripes were the same: signature line's a bit thick, and the back UV tint is off. Still passes at most places I've tried. 7.6 feels fair for the price, tbh.
Yeah, I just got my IL from FastTrack too. The scans are solid and the stealth was decent enough, I guess. But the thickness is definitely off and the raised text feels way too fresh. It passes at bars and liquor stores fine, but I wouldn't risk it anywhere serious. Good for the price honestly, just don't expect it to be flawless.
Nice review, appreciate you sharing that. I grabbed an IL from FastTrack a while back and pretty much agree with your 7.6 – the UV and OVI are solid, but the microprint and raised text? Yeah, they're definitely a bit fuzzy. 11 day turnaround is about what I got too. It's not perfect, but honestly, gets the job done for most bars.
Nice write-up. I grabbed the same IL from FastTrack a few weeks back and pretty much agree on most points—it scans fine everywhere I've tried, but honestly, the microprint is definitely blurry under a loupe. Also had that same corner peeling issue after a week in my wallet. It's decent for casual use, but I wouldn't rely on it for anything strict. Good to know I'm not the only one seeing those little flaws.
Really appreciate the detailed breakdown. I've been eyeing FastTrack for a while, so this is honestly super helpful. The 14-day turnaround sounds solid, and the 7.6 rating seems pretty fair given your notes about raised text and barcode finickiness. I'll probably give 'em a shot for a backup, just won't push it in-state. Thanks for posting.
