These features which include laser perforation, ghost portrait, microprinting, altered font, overlapping data, guilloche security design, variable microscript, split fountain printing, and security indica visible with indica viewer, can help you tell if your driver&#8217;s license is real or not.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would briefly explain how laser perforation, ghost portrait and microprinting can be used to verify a Nigerian driver&#8217;s license. In the case of the laser perforation feature, you will know if your driver&#8217;s license is original when you hold it up to the light and see tiny holes on the front and back of the document.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ghost portrait feature is a smaller version of your passport photograph on the driver&#8217;s license. When you don&#8217;t see this ghost portrait, it means your driver&#8217;s license is fake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microprinting as a security feature has to do with the tiny lettering that may resemble a solid line if looked at with the naked eye. Authentic Nigerian driver&#8217;s licenses all have this feature. Use a magnifier to see if that seemingly solid line is a string miniature lettering. The absence of microprinting on your driver&#8217;s license means it&#8217;s a fake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you wondering how you can verify if your Nigerian driver&#8217;s license is genuine or otherwise?
