forged passport

Falsified travel document

A forged passport is a travel document that has been fraudulently created or altered—either fabricated entirely or modified to change identity information, photographs, or validity dates.

Forged passports enable illegal border crossing, identity fraud, or evasion of law enforcement: They caught him at customs with a forged passport.

The term covers both counterfeits and genuine passports with falsified details.
