Fake ID Documents

By Spodek Law Group | February 15, 2023

Fighting Federal Fake Identification Charges with Spodek Law Group

Federal fake identification charges are serious offenses that can carry severe penalties. The federal government has banned the production, use, transfer, and control of false identification documents and authentication elements under law 18 U.S.C.§ 1028. This statute covers a wide range of behaviors that could result in federal charges for fraud and related activity involving identification documents and authentication features.

If you are confronting a federal identity theft case, the feds will generally investigate if significant sums of money are involved or if multiple IDs have been used to commit the crime. This kind of federal crime happens when someone steals another person’s information to obtain goods or services. The government is conscious of the increasing incidence of ID theft and is vigorously seeking prosecution for these crimes.

This theft epidemic is a significant concern, and individuals accused of federal fake identification crimes must understand the legal framework surrounding the charges they face. This is where Spodek Law Group comes in. Our legal team has ample background in fighting federal fake identification charges, and we can assist you to navigate the intricate legal system and battle for your rights.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 1028(b), those convicted of fraud and related activity involving identification documents, authentication features, and information could face a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment, a fine, and forfeiture of any property used to commit the crime. These charges can be enhanced when identity theft is associated with another felony.

Identity theft crimes can potentially violate other federal laws, such as credit card fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, or SS fraud, each of which carries severe penalties. These charges can be devastating, and it’s critical to seek legal representation to fight back against the government’s case.

It’s worth mentioning that a conviction for any behavior described under 18 U.S.C.§ 1028(a) may result in asset damages. If the behavior doesn’t fall into any of the classes listed under this section, the full penalty is one year of imprisonment, a fine, or both.

When facing a federal fake identification charge, the stakes are high. Working with an experienced attorney from Spodek Law Group can help you understand the potential legal penalties you face and the defense strategies available to you.

Defenses for Fake Identification

If you’re facing a false identification charge, a lack of federal jurisdiction or intent could serve as a viable defense. §1028 covers false ID-related conduct that involves a United States identification document or document-making implement, the intent to defraud interstate commerce, or the transportation in the U.S. mail of the identification documents. This means that most fake-ID conduct would not qualify as a federal crime under §1028.

Depending on the subsection, an accused individual’s attorney may be able to prove that they didn’t have the requisite intent to violate §1028. If accused of planning to defraud the United States through their possession of a false identification document, a lawyer may be capable to give proof to show a lack of fraudulent intent.

Working with an experienced lawyer can be the difference between freedom and imprisonment.
