Final answer:

Identification cards often lack extra security features like UV-visible images, but some cards use magnetic strips as a security measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Computers and Technology.

Identification cards, such as driver's licenses, often lack extra security features like images only visible under ultra-violet (UV) light. These security features are used as a measure to prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication.

For example, credit cards and driver's licenses have magnetic strips on the back that store information using electromagnetic induction, which requires a swiping motion to read and write the information. This is a common security feature used in identification cards.
