Florida Statutes On Unlawful Use Of An ID Card

An identification card contains personal information about the owner, including the name, address, and date of birth. The unlawful use of an identification card is considered a criminal offense under Florida law and will be marked on a person's record if charged. Per Florida statute 322.051(6), it is unlawful for any person to:

• "(a) To display, cause or permit to be displayed, or have in his or her possession any fictitious, fraudulently altered, or fraudulently obtained identification card.
• (b) To lend his or her identification card to any other person or knowingly permit the use thereof by another.
• (c) To display or represent any identification card not issued to him or her as being his or her card.
• (d) To permit any unlawful use of an identification card issued to him or her.
• (e) To do any act forbidden, or fail to perform any act required, by this section.
• (f) To photograph, photostat, duplicate, or in any way reproduce any identification card or facsimile thereof in such a manner that it could be mistaken for a valid identification card, or to display or have in his or her possession any such photograph, photostat, duplicate, reproduction, or facsimile unless authorized..."

Legal Penalties

If an accused individual is convicted of the crime of using an identification card illegally, they will be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor. The penalties for a second-degree misdemeanor include up to sixty days in jail, up to $500 in fines, and up to six months of probation. Worse yet, individuals charged with a criminal offense will have it marked on their record, which can make finding a job or attending school far more difficult.
