Forgery

In Virginia, it is illegal to create fake documents, change existing documents, or sign another's name with the intent to defraud and without authorization.

It is especially serious to sign a false name to a ticket, summons, warrant, or bail document and this is one of the most common forgery offenses charged.

Another common forgery offense charged is when someone changes the figures on a check or writes a check out to himself on another person's checking account.

Passing or attempting to pass a forged check or document may result in additional charges such as uttering, false pretenses, or other fraud charges.
