Given the prosecution failed to provide sufficient factual particulars to prove the appellant used the forged identity card to seek employment, the court would not treat the offence as one warranting the higher sentencing range; where a defendant is lawfully present, possessed a forged identity card with intent to use it for employment and used it only to gain entry (without proof of use to seek work), an appropriate sentence on a guilty plea is six months imprisonment.
