Identity fraud: what happens in case of forgery

Identity fraud carries legal, financial and reputational risks. How can you recognize and prevent fraud? In this article we discuss the consequences of forgery, the role of authorities and how DataChecker helps to detect suspicious documents in time.

Risks and consequences of counterfeiting 

Forgery of identity documents carries great risks, both legally and financially, how do you deal with it and what can you do as an employer to minimize risks. When fraud comes to light, various agencies take action to investigate and tackle the situation.  

  1. The police or Royal Military Police check the authenticity of the document. For example, read this article about large-scale identity fraud. 
  2. The Labour Inspectorate investigates violations of the Foreign Nationals Employment Act (Wav). 
  3. The IND investigates possible fraud or illegal residence. 
  4. The Public Prosecution Service decides on criminal prosecution. 

DataChecker’s approach to suspicious documents 

DataChecker solutions identify suspicious documents early. This is done using: 

  • Real-time signaling of deviations. 
  • Smart algorithms that compare documents against global data sources. 
  • Direct warnings in case of possible counterfeiting. 

When a suspicious document is detected, a report is generated detailing the findings and reasons why the document may be forged. This report is sent to the customer, who then determines whether further action will be taken, such as involving authorities.
