We all know that ID cards are extremely important for everyone. In daily life, whether it is taking a train, handling various businesses or staying in a hotel, we need to show our ID cards.
But in fact, not all scenarios require the use of our original ID card, and many times only a copy is required. The copy shop on the street also made it convenient for us, just hand over the ID card to the clerk and get a copy in no time.
However, observant people may find that when making copies of ID cards, many people will choose to put a $1 coin next to their ID card. So, what does placing a coin do?
In fact, this practice is to prevent criminals from using copies of our ID cards to engage in illegal and criminal activities, causing damage to our reputation or property. When we make a copy of the ID card together with the coin, the coin is a three-dimensional object, and its three-dimensional shape will also appear in the copy.
If the criminals try to use this copy to carry out malicious activities, when they are repeatedly copied, the three-dimensional sense will disappear, and we can identify at a glance whether the copy is consistent with the original ID card.
In addition to placing coins, we should also mark the blank space on the ID card with the words "only handle such and such business, other uses are invalid" and mark the date before making a copy of the ID card. If the blank space is not filled, we need to fill it with a horizontal line.
In addition, before copying the ID card, we can also write on the top of the ID card that "only handle such and such business, other uses are invalid". In this way, when making a copy of the ID card, the clerk will make a copy of the text together to ensure that no one else can use the photocopy.
In the future, when we need to provide the original ID card for business, we can take this method to protect the security of personal information.
Through the above measures, we can better protect the security of personally identifiable information. When making a copy of your ID card, remember to place the coin, and indicate the limited business and invalid use in the blank space, and mark the date. In this way, even if the copy falls into the hands of criminals, we can quickly identify the authenticity of the copy and avoid the loss caused by it.
