Forgery is a criminal offense that includes such activities as trying to cash stolen checks, falsifying information on a loan application (such as for a house, or pay stubs to get a car loan), faking vote petitions, or creating phony advertising contracts.  The penalties for most types of forgery are substantial, as forgery is classified as a felony offense, and convictions may include jail time, large fines, probation, community service, and in some cases, even the loss of some civil privileges.
