Apple's (News - Alert) app store is simply the best place to peddle your wares if you happen to be an app developer. The app store boasts tens of millions of different apps, with dozens of new ones being added every day. 

Despite the huge volume of apps, very few are ever really pulled off the digital shelves and when they are, they tend to make quite a bit of noise. Such is the case with an app that critics say can help people create very realistic, fake driver's licenses. 

The developers at DriversEd.com have had an app out on the app store for about two years now called Driver License. While it had gone largely unnoticed and was pumped up as a test prep application for those looking to get their license, one group recently decided it was unsafe. 

The Coalition for a Secure Driver’s License contacted US Senator Bob Casey who promptly called Apple and asked the computing giant to pull the app down. Apple promptly complied.

The argument against the iPhone app is that you can create a driver's license from any state in the country and then email it to yourself. Print it out using a color printer and laminate it and you have yourself a fake driver's license. The makers of the app say that the coalition is both overreacting and not quite getting the facts right on this issue.

According to the president of DriversEd.com, the developers of the app have taken certain steps to make sure that these fake licenses do not look like the real thing. Gary Tsifrin says that fonts and sizes of printing on the fake licenses are made to look different enough so that anyone looking closely enough would be able to tell rather quickly that it is a fake. 

Tsifrin added that “by design, it would take more effort and expertise to modify the product of the DriversEd.com Driver License app than to construct a counterfeit from scratch.” 

DriversEd.com has said that they hope that Apple will put the app back in the app store now that they have pointed out the differences. Apple has not commented on the situation yet.
