The sacred phrase that without the presence of a corresponding “piece of paper” any person automatically loses his status (becomes a “bug”) is known, perhaps, to everyone. And who, if not you and I, should be personally acquainted with the meaning of this saying. After all, it is in Russia that documentation is so widely developed. There is probably no such network in any other state. And the role of all papers in human life is really huge. His whole life literally depends on all kinds of documents. Birth certificate, insurance policy, passport, death certificate. On his life's journey, a citizen is faced with a huge amount of extremely important papers. And since these things play such a significant role, it is logical to assume that there is always a fact of fraud.
The article for falsification of documents is a separate part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates all the nuances of this phenomenon, as well as penalties that can be applied to violators of the law. Indeed, fake papers can even have a state character. Not to mention the smaller documents. These are faked much more often. Such a crime is associated primarily with the fact that sometimes a person, in order to get the paper he needs, falsifies the original. Indeed, it is not always the document that can be in the hands of the owner in an honest way. There can be a lot of obstacles to this. But sometimes, just one such piece of paper brings its owner millions, if not billions, of conventional monetary units of income. Therefore, despite the high risk of criminal liability, documents are forged. Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation gives a clear definition of the fact of this crime.
How many methods or classifications of falsification of documents exist ? In fact, there are a lot of them. We will try to identify some of the most important. Suppose there is already a ready-made official form of a document. For example, sick leave. If a person independently makes any corrections to the data that is already filled in him, then in this case there is a fake of documents. An article of the code dedicated to this crime confirms this. This also includes a lot of papers. For example, a driver’s license with an extended validity period, a company pass. Any cleanups and corrections, including the smallest ones, fall under the criminal liability . The falsification of documents of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is considered a rather serious violation. Therefore, you always need to think once again, but is the game worth the candle? After all, the result may not justify the risk to which a person voluntarily exposes himself. In addition, his reputation and work position are at stake.
The second method can include a complete fake of an official document, and not just any of its individual parts. In this case, the alleged offender reprints the paper that he needs, but he cannot receive it due to any circumstances. Forgery of documents (article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in this case remains the same) here takes much more time and effort. In addition, this process is very painstaking and sometimes requires a huge investment of money. After all, you need to additionally make all the necessary stamps and seals, get a special grade of paper, if any, to recreate all the signs of protection. In this case, falsification of documents (Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) of this magnitude is mainly applied when it comes to truly significant benefits. For example, the manufacture of a fake diploma, which indicates the end of a prestigious university, foreign passport or other similar papers. Here the punishment will be much more severe than in the previous case, if the guilt of the person is proved in court.
