> 免許証ぐらいの大きさのそれは、 **見た感じ** 身分証みたいに見える。

Is it supposed to be 見た感じでは or something?

Also, are みたいに見える and ように見える the same? And is there any difference with
みたい/よう? I find it confusing that there are 2 "to look like" words used.

Is there omission in this sentence?
The following question deals with the same sentence.

  * [precision about 見た感じ](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/83265/45489)

The sentences below mean more or less the same.

> 見た感じ身分証 **みたいに見える** 。
>
> 見た感じ **は** 身分証 **みたいに見える** 。
>
> 見た感じ **が** 身分証 **みたいに見える** 。
>
> 見た感じ **(は/が)** 身分証 **に見える** 。
>
> 見た感じ **(は/が)** 身分証 **みたいだ** 。

You can think there is an omission of は or が or even では as you guessed, but it
is also possible to argue that 見た感じ is a noun that works adverbially, here
modifying に見える (or みたいだ in the last sentence above).

As for みたいに見える, the difference is subtle, but as the linked answer says, it
adds uncertainty to 見える. 身分証みたいに見える may be closer to _looks something like an
ID_ while 身分証に見える is _looks like an ID_ (the speaker is to an extent sure that
it is).

See e.g. the following for adverbial usage of nouns (although 見た感じ is not
temporal obviously).
