That's why nobody has ever used a fake ID at a bar!

But producing fake scans isn't covered by this law, scans aren't even an official document. In fact, it is illegal for a german company to ask you to send them scans of official documents.

To fake a good enough passport scan you'd need your victims name. That's all the rep is going to have.
