Transported in the Mail—18 U.S.C. § 1028

Title 18 U.S.C. § 1028(c)(3), establishes federal jurisdiction if -- in the course of the prohibited production, transfer, or possession -- the identification document, false identification document, or document-making implement is transported in the United States mail. As a practical matter, this subsection really only expands coverage to intrastate mailings, since interstate mailings are covered by the "commerce" basis for federal jurisdiction.
