Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) today called on Apple to shut down an application that allows people to create fake driver's licenses. 'License' App Allows Anyone to Manufacture Fake Driver's License for Any StateĪpp Could Undermine New License Protections in Place Across PAĬasey: Apps Shouldn't Facilitate Breaking the Law Apple apparently did not, however, respond to that initial request.'Ĭasey to Apple: Shut Down App that Enables Production of Fraudulent Driver's Licenses 'The Coalition for a Secure Driver's License had sent a letter to Apple's Scott Forstall back in April,' said the article, 'requesting removal of the application. 'License' is no longer available in Apple's App Store.Īccording to a report by Mac Rumors, this wasn't the first time Apple has been asked to remove the app, which has apparently been available for over two years.

In his letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, he wrote, 'I believe this application poses a threat to public safety and national security and I request that you remove it from the App Store immediately.' While the app was designed to be fun, Casey didn't think so. 'We've got every single state,' says the description on the company's website, 'so make a face, take a picture with friends, and go crazy!' had been offering a free download for iOS devices that allowed users to paste their photo and personal information into a template for each of the 50 state driver's licenses. Or at least there was, until Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) complained to Apple. It was a rite of passage as much as a way to get your hands on booze. Getting your hands on a fake ID used to be difficult, requiring either skill, daring, dumb luck, or some combination of all three. Kids these days don't realize how easy they have it.
