Identification documents date from the days of Napoleon's rule, where they were considered workers' cards. Later, it became a resident's registration document as a population record. At the end of the 19th century and the development of the photography, the first personal documents with the photo appeared. This paper is based on the theoretical elaboration of the mechanical properties of polymers that are the basics for the creation of identification documents. Four polymers are used in the preparation and processing of identification documents; polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene (ABS) and Teslin base. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the most widespread polymer of today, and is characterized by its plasticity and relatively low price. Ecological acceptability, environmental degradation resistance (as well as chemicals and alkalis), high hardness and exceptional stretch strength are additional PVC qualities. Polycarbonate (PC) is a naturally transparent amorphous blend that allows light transmission almost to the same extent as glass, but is commercially available in a variety of colors. In controversial polymers, we also include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which is an opaque thermoplastic and amorphous polymer, the most widely used in emulsifying milk. Base Teslin is a durable, high-quality synthetic high-quality paper that stands out for laminated printing projects and other applications that require high-performance hard material. As a single-layer material based on polyolefins, Teslin Substance is a category for itself among synthetic paper and plastics used in printing because it is designed with a microporous matrix that allows to absorb and create strong interconnected links to ink, glue, coating and laminating films.
