Abstract:
1. An identification document comprising: a base layer; a release layer positioned over the base layer, the release layer applied in a pattern on the base layer, the pattern covering less than the entire area of the base layer; an image receiving layer over the base layer and the release layer, wherein the image receiving layer is in direct contact with the base layer except where the image receiving layer contacts the pattern of the release layer; an overlaminate applied over the image receiving layer; wherein, (a) the adhesion of the release layer to the base layer is greater than the adhesion of the release layer to the image receiving layer; and (b) the adhesion of the image receiving layer to the base layer is equal to or greater than the adhesion of the release layer to the base layer; and (c) the adhesion of the overlaminate to the image receiving layer is greater than the adhesion of the image receiving layer to the release layer; and wherein, tampering with or removing the overlaminate causes an image printed on the image receiving layer to separate with the overlaminate in the area of the release layer while the image printed on the image receiving layer remains with the base layer outside the area of the release layer.
