It's about covering your ass, not barely complying.

Let's assume a girl who is 16 decides to earn money in porn. So she gets 1 forged ID and she's in. Ask her for 2 and it's a little bit tougher.

OK yes she can get 2 and she can steal 2 from her older sister. But as you stand in front of the judge you can show you went beyond the law in trying to make sure she was legal. Would you prefer 1 ID in that situation? Also applies if you're buying content.

Some more tips when shooting. If the girl is close to her 18th birthday shoot her on the set holding the days paper. It clearly proves the day the scene was shot and stops any claims of post dating model releases. Also applies if you're buying content.

Another reason to shoot the girl on the set holding her ID. Shows that this is the model in question. Passports can have very bad pictures which might not look like the model on the day of the shoot. Flat bed scans could be of a different persons ID. Also applies if you're buying content.

Also make sure the ID includes the models signature. It shows the model signed the model release. And get the model to sign it like they signed the model release. Another way to ensure the the model owns the ID. Also applies if you're buying content.

All the above has been learned the hard way.
