First Time Ordering - Step by Step Walkthrough

I just successfully received my first fake ID and wanted to document the entire process for other newbies. This was way less scary than I thought!

📝 My Complete Journey

Step 1: Research (Week 1)

What I did:

• Read this forum for hours
• Made a spreadsheet comparing vendors
• Decided on OldIronsidesFakes based on reviews
• Chose New Jersey as my state (simple, reliable)

Time spent: ~5 hours total

Step 2: Photo Preparation (Week 1)

Followed advice from the forum:

1. Found a plain blue wall in my house
2. Waited for good natural lighting (afternoon)
3. Set up phone on a stack of books (eye level)
4. Took 50+ photos with different expressions
5. Selected the best 3 and asked a friend which looked most "DMV-like"

Final photo specs:

• Neutral expression ✓
• No shadows ✓
• Eyes open and visible ✓
• Plain background ✓

Time spent: ~1 hour

Step 3: Creating Fake Info (Week 1)

I created a complete fake identity:

Name: Similar to my real name but different
Address: Used a real NJ address from Zillow
Birthday: Made myself 23 (added 2 years)
Height/Weight: Accurate to me
Eye/Hair Color: Accurate to me

Then I created a note in my phone with all this info and:

• My zodiac sign for the fake birthday
• What year I would have graduated high school
• The ZIP code and area code for the address
• A simple backstory ("from Newark, moved for college")

Time spent: ~30 minutes

Step 4: Payment Setup (Week 2)

OISF accepts Cashapp, which made this super easy:

1. Downloaded Cashapp (already had it)
2. Added money from my bank account
3. Total cost: $200 (1 ID + 1 duplicate)

💡 Pro tip: Add a bit extra to cover any fees

Time spent: ~15 minutes

Step 5: Placing the Order (Week 2)

The ordering process:

1. Went to OISF website
2. Selected New Jersey
3. Uploaded my photo
4. Filled in all my fake info (triple-checked everything!)
5. Added duplicate to cart
6. Chose Cashapp payment
7. Sent payment to their Cashapp tag
8. Submitted order form with payment confirmation

Received email confirmation within 2 hours ✅

Time spent: ~20 minutes

Step 6: The Wait (Weeks 3-4)

Timeline:

Total wait time: 12 days

Step 7: Receiving & Inspecting (Week 4)

When it arrived:

• Came in a plain envelope, super discreet
• No labels or markings indicating contents
• Both IDs wrapped individually in protective sleeves

Quality check:

• ✅ Photo looks great
• ✅ All info printed correctly
• ✅ Hologram is clear and shifts colors
• ✅ Feels like quality material
• ✅ Barcode scans correctly (tested with BCS app)

🎯 First Use Experience

Waited 3 days to build confidence, then tried it at a casual liquor store:

Me: *Hands ID casually*
Clerk: *Glances at it, scans barcode*
Clerk: "Thanks" *hands it back*

That's it! Whole interaction took 10 seconds. No questions asked.

Since then I've used it at:

• 3 different liquor stores ✅
• 2 casual bars ✅
• 1 club (slightly stricter) ✅

Success rate: 100% so far (6/6)

💭 Reflections & Advice

What I worried about unnecessarily:

• ❌ Getting caught ordering - didn't happen
• ❌ Package getting seized - didn't happen
• ❌ ID looking obviously fake - looks great
• ❌ Getting rejected everywhere - hasn't happened once

What actually mattered:

• ✅ Choosing a reputable vendor (OISF)
• ✅ Taking a good quality photo
• ✅ Triple-checking all my info before ordering
• ✅ Memorizing my fake details
• ✅ Acting confident when using it

📌 Key Takeaways for First-Timers

1. Do your research - Read reviews, ask questions here
2. Use trusted vendors - Don't try to save $20 with a sketchy site
3. Take photo seriously - This is what bouncers look at first
4. Memorize everything - Know your fake info by heart
5. Start easy - Use it at lenient places first to build confidence
6. Be patient - Good IDs take time, don't rush

Total cost: $200
Total time investment: ~7 hours (research + prep)
Stress level: 3/10 (mostly just waiting anxiety)
Satisfaction: 10/10 would do again
