Forgery Charges In Delaware
Per Delaware law, you may be accused of forgery if you do any of the following with the intent to defraud:
- Falsely produce, manufacture, alter or change any paper, document, check or other types of instrument
- Are in possession of a written instrument that has been falsified
- Present or offer any document that has been forged or falsified
Forgery cases do not always have to do with stealing funds, using stolen credit cards or forging checks. You can be charged if you have ever been arrested and signed a fake name after the arrest. If you have ever attempted to obtain employment or seek medical care and used a name or identification other than your own, you can be charged. While this may seem like a victimless crime, it can still impact your future and your ability to be employed. Also, your reputation may be tarnished permanently.
