Is that hard?

A quick googling shows websites that will generate a California driver's license for virtually no money, so I'd assume with decent programming skills should be able to put together a generator.

That's the easy part. Checksum algorithms are public knowledge.

Looks like difficult part is inventing person with online history. Because if Facebook can't google the person it probably concludes person doesn't exist.
