Forgery, in law, making of a false writing with an intent to defraud. Writing, to be forgery, must either have legal significance or be commonly relied upon in business transactions. It need not be handwriting; the law of forgery covers printing, engraving, and typewriting as well.
Forgery is when you make a document "that you know to be false" with the intent of passing it off as genuine. This action is illegal under s. 366 of the Criminal Code, which states that forgery includes adding, altering or removing material from a genuine document.
Forgery is a Class C felony. If you have no prior convictions on your record, you may be facing prison time of up to 60 days and fines of up to $10,000, in addition to a felony conviction on your record. With prior convictions on your record, the prison sentence could be up to 18 months.
