Ever wondered what forgery really means? You’ve probably heard the term thrown around in movies or news stories. But forgery is more than just fake signatures on checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a serious crime that affects millions of people every year. And it’s happening more often than you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is Forgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forgery is the act of creating, altering, or using fake documents with the intent to deceive. According to Britannica<\/a>, forgery is defined as “making of a false writing with an intent to defraud.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key here is intent. You can’t accidentally commit forgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, forgery occurs when someone creates a fake document or alters a genuine one. They do this to trick others for personal gain. The document must also have legal significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think driver’s licenses. Bank statements. Contracts. These all count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But writing a fake love letter to your crush? That’s not forgery. It has no legal significance.<\/p>\n\n\n
