Abstract
A multilayer identification card bearing information such as letters, numbers, patterns, pictures and so on, in which at least part of the information is present in the form of a structure in relief in a foamable synthetic material. The foamable synthetic material is transparent or dyed in the visible spectral range and is present in the identification card in the form of a layer covering either its entire surface or part of it. The information in relief is produced by means of a laser beam recorder, the energy dosage of which is used to induce the locally controllable foaming process in the synthetic material compounded with chemical or physical blowing agents. The protection against forgery may be further increased by additionally photocuring the foamable synthetic layer.
