Abstract

This disclosure describes an identification document with optical recording media, as well as related methods for making identification documents and materials used to make identification documents. The identification document includes first and second layers. The second layer is cut to form wells for receiving patches of the optical recording media. The first and second layers are joined, and the patches are placed into the wells. The first and second layers and patches form a composite structure that is used to make identification documents. In particular, in one embodiment, the patches are placed into the wells, which are filled with a curable liquid. The composite laminate structure is then joined with a core layer. Other layers may be added, such as a laminate on the opposite side of the core from the composite laminate, and image receiving layers for printing variable information.
