If the names don&#8217;t fit, it&#8217;s likely a fake or borrowed card. Additionally, check the card&#8217;s formatting and date; older cards have titles and initials, while newer ones display the full name.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><b>Expiry Date<\/b><\/td><td>The expiry date is an important way to identify a CSCS card. Most CSCS cards are valid for 5 years, except for Red CSCS Cards, which last for 1 year. If the card has an expiry date that is more than 5 years away, it&#8217;s likely fake. Also, if the expiry date format doesn&#8217;t match the card variation, it\u2019s a red flag.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><b>Registration Number<\/b><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every CSCS card should have a unique registration number for identification. You can use this number to check the card&#8217;s validity with the CITB card checker.<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><b>Smart Card Microchip<\/b><\/td><td>The latest cards may not have a visible microchip but will have a contactless symbol next to the picture. Using an NFC reader, you can verify the card and access the operative&#8217;s profile.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><b>Picture<\/b><\/td><td>If the card is fake, relying solely on the picture may not be enough. CSCS requires a passport-style photo and that must be with a plain background.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><b>CSCS Hologram<\/b><\/td><td>There\u2019s one thing common in all CSCS cards, which is a hologram in the top left corner.
