Abstract: An identity card, e.g. a check card or credit card, usually has a field in which the card user writes has signature when the card is handed over. A weakness that manipulators of the cards could exploit up to now was that the signature field could be detached and replaced by an imitated signature field. To make such manipulation easily recognizable and thus impede forgery, the invention proposes making the security print (guilloche print), that covers the surroundings of the signature field anyway, extend without interruption across the signature field as well. Whereas it is already extremely difficult to imitate a signature field provided with such a security print, it is virtually impossible to dispose the security print in such a way that is passes continuously from the signature field into the surroundings of the signature field (FIG. 1).
