Abstract: An identity document and method for manufacturing the identity document, the method including providing a document body that includes at least a first and a second transparent external layer and a white central layer, the white central layer including a transparent substrate at least partially covered with a photosensitive opaque white coating, and exposing at least a point of the photosensitive opaque white layer to a first radiation, the radiation being able to perform ablation of the photosensitive opaque white layer, so that the point exposed to the radiation becomes transparent, and so that light passes through the thickness of the identity document at that point.
