The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) continues to crack down on fake IDs.

The number of tickets issued for fake IDs at concert venues throughout New York State continues to decline.

This year, 307 people were cited and 349 fake IDs were seized from concertgoers who were attempting to buy alcoholic beverages with fake IDs as part of the agency's enforcement drive at concert venues this past summer, officials say.

That number is down from last year and a 44 percent drop from 2022. A year ago, 312 concertgoers received citations, and 389 fake licenses were recovered. In 2022, more than 550 people were charged.
