Identification document and production method

Abstract

The invention relates to an identification document () for identifying a person with a coloured identification image () with a carrier () has a personalization area () for receiving image information, wherein the personalization area comprises a recording layer () for receiving first image information, a lens arrangement () for viewing the first image information, and a partially transparent print layer () formed on the lens arrangement for receiving second image information. The first image information contains a black-and-white positive image () of the person as a first partial image information and a black-and-white negative image () of the person as a second partial image information. The positive image () and the negative image () are each formed from a plurality of partial areas () which are arranged in such a nested manner in the recording layer () that when viewed through the lens arrangement (), the positive image () is only reconstructed in a substantially vertical viewing direction () and the negative image () is only reconstructed in a pre-determined, oblique viewing direction (). The second image information of the partially transparent print layer () contains a colour separation () of the coloured identification image of the person, which is visible in both the vertical () and the oblique () viewing direction. When viewed vertically, the colour identification image () of the person is observable through an interaction of the black-and-white positive image () and the colour separation (), and when viewed obliquely, a colour control image () is observable, which is formed through an interaction of the black-and-white negative image () and the colour separation ().
