Falsification

Understanding Falsification of Documents

Falsification of documents is a serious offense involving the creation, alteration, or use of false documents to deceive others, obtain financial gain, or avoid legal obligations. These cases can arise in a wide range of contexts, from business and financial transactions to regulatory compliance and personal records. Depending on the circumstances, falsification of documents can be charged as a state or federal crime, with severe penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and reputational harm.

Common examples of document falsification include:

Forging Signatures: Creating or altering signatures on contracts, checks, or other legal documents without authorization.
Altering Financial Records: Manipulating financial statements, invoices, or tax records to misrepresent financial performance.
Creating False Documents: Fabricating documents such as fake IDs, certificates, diplomas, or licenses.
Submitting False Applications: Providing false information on loan applications, insurance claims, or government forms.
Misrepresenting Information: Changing dates, figures, or other details on existing documents to deceive others.

Prosecutors take document falsification seriously, especially when it involves financial institutions, government agencies, or public companies. In federal cases, charges may be brought under statutes such as wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, or obstruction of justice. State charges may include forgery, fraud, or false statements.
