The invention relates to a method for producing a security document (42) having a security feature that is dependent on the viewing angle and to such a security document (42). A preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention comprises the following steps: printing print information (47) on a substrate layer (45); and integrating the imprinted substrate layer (45) in a document body (41) and introducing microlenses (51) into a surface of the document body (41), wherein the microlenses (51) are introduced after the imprinted substrate layer (45) has been integrated in the document body (41) by optically capturing the print information (47) integrated in the document body (41) and evaluating at least one feature of the captured print information (47), and on the basis of the evaluated feature, one or more tools are oriented relative to the document body (41) and subsequently the microlenses (51) are introduced into the surface with precise fit in relation to the integrated print information (47).
