Forged Identity Cards — How Citizens Become Victims of Fraud

In modern legal and financial relations, the identity card is one of the main identification documents. That is why the use of forged identity cards has become one of the most common tools for fraudulent schemes.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in cases where real estate is re-registered, financial obligations are undertaken, or other illegal transactions are carried out in the name of citizens using fake identity cards.

What risks does a forged identity card create?

By using a forged document, fraudsters can:

  • Illegally alienate real estate
  • Take out loans or financial obligations in another person's name
  • Execute powers of attorney
  • Carry out notarial transactions
  • Register a business or transfer shares

The most common schemes

1. Misappropriation of real estate

Fraudsters present themselves as owners or authorized persons using a fake identity card and attempt to sell the property.

2. Fake powers of attorney

Based on a forged identity card, a power of attorney is prepared, allowing a third party to dispose of the property.

3. Bank fraud

It is possible to issue a loan or create a financial obligation in the name of a citizen.

Why is prevention important?

In most cases, the victim learns about the incident only after:

  • The property has already been re-registered
  • A court dispute has begun
  • Obligations have accumulated
  • Financial damage has already occurred

How to protect yourself?

It is necessary to:

  • Regularly check the data in the Public Registry
  • Monitor the security of your personal documents
  • Verify all powers of attorney and notarial acts
  • Immediately consult a lawyer in suspicious cases
  • Conduct property and legal audits
