One of the concerns that we heard a number of times when we were consulting with police and prosecution authorities was they were concerned about cases where the documents were forgeries. For instance, if I have a forged birth certificate in someone else's name, or 17 forged birth certificates and forged driver's licences, I'm still able to use those to deceive others about my identity, but they are not authentic documents. We wanted to make sure that we captured authentic documents that actually were issued, but also those that purport to be issued by.... That's the purpose.
