A minor obtains a fake ID, most often a driver's license, to hide the fact they are ReallySeventeenYearsOld in order buy an age-restricted item, usually alcohol, or to enlist in the military.
Usually the identification is made by a forger, but sometimes it is stolen from an older sibling or an IdenticalStranger, or was issued by the government under false pretenses.
Can result in a CoverIdentityAnomaly. Can also be a PaperThinDisguise, depending on bad the ID looks and the plausibility of the identity. May rely on a ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory.
