True. But "due diligence" means more than just taking documents at face value. Yet in practical terms, exactly what can we do?
The fake ID I spotted only looked wrong to me because this is a tiny town and there was an element in the address (a lot #) which I have never seen used around here. And given the coincidence, I was curious anyway. Otherwise both it and the social security card looked real enough.
One of the things which has me concerned, is that under the previous 2257 regulations, primary producers were required to have proof of identity and age. Granted the new regulations are slightly more specific, but not enough - I would have thought - to cause quite so much disarray. You have to wonder how much of the current concern for models' privacy and safety (which never to my knowledge bothered anyone in the past) is being used as a cover for people who never had documents, or accepted documents knowing or at least suspecting they were not real. Perhaps even did the doctoring themselves.
