San Diego Lines: 21 I'd hate to think I started a rash of falsifying-ID arrests across the country, so I'm going to say a few words onna subject. One, the photocopying birth certificates is a very, very OLD idea - so there is going to be quite a bit of precautions against this method, especially if it was used in a movie!!! I have heard that one can't get a photocopy of a birth certificate without proper identification. I wouldn't consider it improbable that the DMV checks license applications against a 'deceased' list, nor the social-security people wouldn't get somewhat suspisious if Mr. A got a number at birth and is now applying for another one now that he's 21 (and possibly dead as well!)... There are some much better methods if you just want to get drinks and not enter bars, because Ralph's and Savon don't examine the ID with a micro-scope, like most bars will (well... miniscule exaggeration). Anyway, just be careful - I think it's a federal crime to have a fake ID.
