IDs and Model releases

Interesting point about IDs, does the US driving license have a copy of the models signature?

We are constantly being doubted by webmasters because we shoot such young looking girls and are in the old Eastern Block.

The magazines now will not take anything but two goverment IDs one with the models signature on it. Usually passport and National ID

We photograph the model holding the IDs next to her face at the beginning of every set and send them with the set either digital or magazine. We also get the model to sign a model release in her native language.

Overkill, not really just making sure. The model release is very important, a model can always say "I did not understand what it said" if English is not her first language, ask a lawyer.
