ABSTRACT:

As forensic document examiner in practice since 1995, we have detected different methods of forging public documents in Venezuela to break the law. Deceiving through documents is not limited to private documents; the spectrum of cases includes notarized documents, corporations, vehicle, and real estate records.

This compilation resumes the most common methods to forge notarized and public documents, including the creation of false certified copies, alteration of public documents controls by addition, and document substitutions on the notary books.  We have found forged signatures of signers, witnesses, public officers, y false official rubber stamps.
