Examples of Forgery Creating a counterfeit seal of another individual or entity. Falsifying, altering, counterfeiting or duplicating a driver's license or government-issued ID card. Falsifying, altering or forging an entry in a book of records. Modifying a medical record with fraudulent intent.
An “Affidavit of Forgery" is a notarized, sworn statement, attesting that the signature appearing on it is indeed a forgery. The account holder MUST provide an Affidavit of Forgery before any criminal charges can be filed! An affidavit must accompany each forged or counterfeited item.

Affidavits can occur any time a formal promise is made, and they are often used as a form of documentation tied to a specific person in the proceedings. They are often used in court to serve as evidence toward a singular side in a dispute, or to affirm a claim that someone is making.
Proving forgery in court can be challenging since it often requires the testimony of an expert who has conducted a detailed examination of various elements of a document, such as the paper, they typed fonts, the date, handwriting and time sequences all in the context of the content of the document.
A forged endorsement on a check is different from a forged signature on a check. A forged endorsement involves forging the payee's signature for negotiation. Frequently, a forged endorsed check contains the true signature of the account holder.
In a forged maker scheme, an employee misappropriates a check and fraudulently applies the signature of an authorized maker (person who signs the check). In order to forge a check, an employee must have access to a blank check and be able to produce a convincing forgery of an authorized signature.
Examples. A bill is endorsed, “payable to X or order”. X endorses it in blank and it comes into the hands of Y, who simply delivers it to A. A would then forge Y's endorsement and transfers it to B.
A forged endorsement can only happen if someone forges the payee's name. If an account holder signs a blank check and someone makes it out to themselves, that is not the same as a forged endorsement. In this case, the customer is almost always liable.
