GOD V2 Review
Pricing - 10/10
Ordered back at the end of January using 75% code getting my id down to like £30, I was well happy.
Shipping - 9/10
Shipping was 10/10 on g0ds side, 1/10 on customs and parcelforce side. My order was shipped on the 10th of February and arrived in the UK on the 13th, delayed and stuck in customs until the 6th of March when it was finally sorted, then delivered to me on the 7th.
- G0d was extremely generous and to my knowledge, issued everyone who ordered a UK DL a reprint due to them being stuck, it just happened to be that the original prints were released after g0d had shipped out everyones reprints. I was asked for a new address on the 26th of February and had my reprint shipped on the 2nd of March. G0d is using a new shipping courier (I think) which has dramatically increased shipping times, my reprint is now sitting at my city's depot hub (as of 7th of March) waiting to be delivered (as of 8th of March).
Stealth - 8/10
Stealth was okay, not much effort would have been required to find the id's but it did the job. Parents may open it and be confused to what it is without fully going into it but I had no issue as my parents knew. Obviously can't discuss details.
Surnames - 10/10
My ID and dupe both have perfect surnames! G0d has really stepped up with alignment of surnames. Just a bit dark.
Raised Text - 9/10
Raised text looks good, but possibly a little too black/dark. Referring to a real DL, the raised text is more of a grey colour. On the rear of my dupe, '9, 10, 11 and 12' are slightly lower and sit on the line instead of floating. The raised text is damaged if forcefully touched/scraped/rubbed as I have experienced myself with having rubbed off part of my surname on the dupe and the codes at section 9.
Photos - 9/10
Got my mum to take a picture of me on my phone (iPhone 8 Plus) and it came out really well, probably too well. The photo is really clear and slightly unrealistic but thats my fault due to the extremely high quality picture. The colouring still has the issue of being slightly too dark yet it isn't much of an issue as it's overlooked by bouncers etc.
Template - 9/10
Everything is aligned well. Unsure if its a template issue or something but wherever there is an 'A' in text there is an odd gap between other text. This isn't noticeable unless inspected really closely. The font is perfect, with the correct shape, accents to the '2' and dots in the middle of the '0'.
At section 12. on the rear, the issue still exists of the numbers being invalid. G0d automatically generates these numbers yet they should be within the limit of 1 to 122, these are official codes provided by the gov. However if this was spotted, so too would the lack of the lent lens so you're fucked either way if a bouncer spots this.
UV Overlay - 7/10
The UV is accurate to an extent. Comparing my g0d to a real DL, I seen how the line which passes over the picture doesn't show the 4 flower symbols as intensely as the other lines and dots on the UV. The 'wheel' symbol in the bottom left is also slightly inaccurate. This may be an issue to the trained eye.

Holograms and Security Features - 9/10
Front hologram is 1:1 design wise, placement is off slightly dramatically but this isn't picked up on by bouncers, should be about 1 full centimetre to the left so that it reaches the month digits of the expiry date on the photo (idk that was hard to explain but comment/pm me if you want it explained properly). The lack of lenticular lens on the rear is an issue but could be easily resolved with a better spoof design. The darkness of the photo used also affects the legitimacy of the spoof lens due to it being so dark.
Microprinting - 9/10
Just like the raised text, the microprinting is actually just clear raised text. This poses the issue of being damaged and taken off with wear. I have already chipped some of the micro printing but it isn't entirely noticeable unless you inspect it with a magnifying glass. The microprinting is clear for larger text but understandably it turns into a blur and raised texture on the minuscule microprinting text, not really an issue though.
Signature - 10/10
G0d used the signature I provided him (ball point pen on a sheet of blank paper). The only change made was making it darker and slightly bolder but this makes no difference to the id as it actually looks more real in my opinion.
Lamination - 8/10
Lamination is good apart from being slightly miss-placed with gaps in the 2 left hand top and bottom corners and a millimetre hanging off the bottom. The extra laminate on the bottom can easily be fixed by using a sharp knife and cutting it off. I ran a knife perpendicularly along the car and literally sliced it off and it was fine. The laminate is very very glossy and is hard to treat/fix without potentially ruining the ID.
Presentability - 10/10
Exactly 1:1 cant recognise a difference when comparing to a real DL apart from the very minor issues I put in bold above. Be confident, act your 'age' and don't create a scene when trying to use it.
Usability - N/A
[s]Haven't used it yet as at clubs I'm known as someone else (a guy who's ID I use) so I'm waiting a while for the heat to die down on them knowing me lol. I will be updating this in around 2/3 weeks time to give a sense of how well it worked.[/s]
Updated; works everywhere I've tried it, know to avoid certain places in my area as they check the back lenticular lens.
in one bar, the bouncer checked the raised text, no issue at all. local nightclub's bouncers wear gloves so cant feel raised text or feel the thinness of the id so im fine there.
Overall - 10/10
Amazing quality, great prices, great customer service and good shipping (not g0d's fault). Would definitely recommend g0d to anyone looking for a UK DL.
