Most DOHs do not reveal what meaure they take for security.
I’m basing it on something I was told by bluecat6.
“Seals that are slightly raised and embossed. These are made specifically NOT to copy or scan. As we have seen the ‘stamp’ from both Nebraska and Hawaii show easily when copied. This defeats the purpose of document fraud. You do NOT want these features to easily copy or scan. Embossed emblems that are only slightly raised off the paper are all but impossible to scan.”

“Most DOHs do not reveal what meaure they take for security.”
Huh? Is this a joke.
Most explicitly indicate what anti-fraud measures on the document - on the document itself.
I have scanned and copy lots of BCs (national level youth sports).
If a document has a watermark it usually says “This document has watermark when help at an angle.” etc.
Hawaii used to have a much more elaborate BC form that currently in use. Peter Boy BC showed this clearly.
The state of Hawaii used to show the Peter Boy COLB since it was forced open in a challenge by a newspaper. They have since blocked direct access....telling.
