Forgery is act of changing a document, making a false document, or signing a document in someone else's name to intentionally deceive or defraud another party.

These are the most frequent types of forged documents:
- Credit cards

- First degree forgery is the creation of any form of forged writing
- Second degree forgery is using that forged material in an effort to carry out an act, such as using a forged check to purchase goods.
- Third and fourth degree forgery cases often involve the creation and usage of forged checks, where the monetary value of the exchanges exceeds $15,000 or more.
