Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah
Is possessing and/or using a fake ID a felony in Utah? I understand that PRODUCING a fake ID is considered forgery, but merely possessing one?
1 Answer from Attorneys
It can be a third degree felony or a class A misdemeanor. It could also be considered a crime of dishonesty which is bad for employment and housing purposes as well if you ever testify in court or you are not a citizen of the United States.
A person is guilty of a class A misdemeanor if he:
(i) obtains or possesses an identifying document with knowledge that he is not entitled to obtain or possess the identifying document; or
(ii) assists another person in obtaining or possessing an identifying document with knowledge that the person is not entitled to obtain or possess the identifying document.
A person is guilty of a third degree felony if he:
(i) obtains or possesses multiple identifying documents with knowledge that he is not entitled to obtain or possess the multiple identifying documents; or
(ii) assists another person in obtaining or possessing multiple identifying documents with knowledge that the person is not entitled to obtain or possess the multiple identifying documents.
