This is a very high quality ID which looks very convincing, it will definitely work at gas stations, grocery stores, smoke shops and those type of places, and probably it will work at most bars too, though I only used it at one bar so far. I do not live in NJ, and I would be cautious about using this ID in the state of NJ but out of state, I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I highly recommend IDBook if you are looking for a high quality ID.
