CHANGE TO ADAS CARD TO PREVENT FORGERIES
Within the last 12 months there has been a report of a diver forging ADAS certification to gain employment in Asia, a forgery to obtain employment in Sydney and 2 cases of forged HSE certificates in the UK.
Changes to ADAS Certificates of Competency
In response to concerns regarding forgery of Certificates, ADAS has implemented a new security measure which involves having all ADAS cards issued after August 2007 being imprinted with a holographic watermark into the plastic card background. ADAS cards should therefore be much more difficult to replicate in the future. It should be noted that the new card will be phased-in over the future, so the current un-watermarked cards will be around for some years yet.
- Image of the new card is shown to the right. For a larger image, click on the link below. It should be noted that the hologram is only on the front of the card and is not as obvious as it appears in the image. Being a holograph, it is imprinted under the image and shows up best when inclined to the light.
