Question: I need help writing a story!.!.!.how much is a believable price for fake identification!?
(I didn't know what section to put this in)

I'm writing a novel, and there's a scene where two of the main characters meet a shady man to acquire some fake identification!. They're trying to keep from being found, obviously!. My question is, what's a believable price!? They would each need new social security numbers/cards, and birth certificates--one is a child and that's all she'd need, but her father would also have to have a new driver's license, and a diploma or something!.!.!.!.

Any suggestions!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends a bit!. These are the numbers I know!.

A usable social security number can be obtained for $1000!. That one won't ring too many bells when used!.

A birth certificate is trickier, I assume (no experience) but should be more or less the same!.

A paper that looks like one of these but will prove false after checking goes for a couple of dollars!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends!.!.!.if they are illegal immigrants, then quite a lot!. May be $500 - $1000

If just a fake college ID then you can get it for $30 :P

For the other stuff, my guess is about $500 Www@QuestionHome@Com
