Forgery offences involve the creation of false documents or the altering of documents so that the information contained within the documents are false.

The law relating to forgery offences has recently changed with the creation of five new offences and new definitions that will have a significant impact on this already complicated area of the law.

This section includes detailed information about the offences of use false documents, possess false documents, make false documents and possess equipment to make false documents.
