4. Forgery Laws in Florida Florida has extensive laws against forgery and counterfeiting In Florida, a person commits the crime of forgery by making, altering, or falsifying a public record, legal document, insurance policy, bank bill, check, promissory note, receipt, currency, financial document, transit ticket, or other document that has value with the intent to injure or defraud any person. Uttering is also a crime in Florida. Uttering is known as having the intent to defraud and knowing that the document has been forged. Florida law also prohibits the manufacture, sale, and possession of counterfeit labels. Possession of counterfeit labels is criminal only if the defendant intends to distribute the labels. This offense is punished more severely if the goods involved have a retail value of more than $2,500 or if a person is injured or killed as a result of the counterfeit labels. Punishment for a felony is a third degree, as is uttering a forged instrument. Third degree felonies are punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Depending on the circumstances, the sale, possession, or manufacturing of counterfeit labels may be punishable by as little as up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000; or as much as up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Second and subsequent convictions are punished more severely. Goods with counterfeit labels may be seized by the state without compensation to the owners (this is called forfeiture) and may be destroyed.
