Overview

• YouTuber Marvin Wildhage ordered a counterfeit German driver’s license from a Thai supplier found via a simple Google search, paying €590 for one-week DHL Express delivery.
• The vendor’s claim to register the forged data with the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt was declared not credible by Landeskriminalamt Niedersachsen.
• At first glance the document appears authentic, but inconsistent fonts, color deviations and missing security elements expose it as a forgery to trained inspectors.
• Under German law, manufacturing, selling or using a fake driver’s license carries substantial criminal penalties for anyone in possession or use of the document.
• The undercover experiment was conducted purely for journalistic and educational purposes to highlight security flaws and warn against illegal shortcuts to licensure.
