It could be entirely Photoshopped. On the other hand, it could be legit. I have been issued documents that look that that...where a computer basically types over an image of a document. That is somewhat common, though a bad way to do things since it can easily be altered. Actually creating text fields etc. looks more realistic.

Whether it is real or not, I do not know....somebody that is an expert in analyzing artifacts etc. would have to weigh in.

When I went to add text to this in Photoshop I found that I didn't have to align the text at all. Usually when a document is scanned it's extremely difficult to get it so perfectly aligned as this one is.

The ease and the minimal effort it took to insert the text I inserted is, to me, a big red flag.

And the fact that it's so highly compressed - causing the jpg artifacts we see around the text and the pixelation - is suspect. Why not - at least - medium jpg compression? Because it's more difficult to see details with lower compression.
