    New Belgian identity cards have been printed with spelling mistakes in a bid to fool forgers.

    The identity cards include the country name in the three official Belgian languages of French, German and Dutch as well as English.

    Instead of 'Belgien' in German, the ID cars incorrectly say 'Belgine' and instead of 'Belgium' in English, they say 'Belguim'.

    According to Luc Vanneste, of the government department in charge of issuing the cards, other errors will be printed on the card to further confound fraudsters.

    He said a similar system had proved successful in the United States.
    Here it could be done ás gaeilge, but how will this work now they have let the cat out of the bag ?
