Abstract: The offenses of counterfeiting sanctioned in the Romanian Criminal Code refer to the set of illegal acts that harm social relationships of trust. The category of false includes such acts as counterfeiting of currency, stamps or other valuable instruments, counterfeiting validation or marking instruments, counterfeiting documents, and false identity. Trust between members of society, between them and state institutions, represents an essential value for the consolidation and smooth running of social relations. However, acts of falsification and the utilization of false information generate feelings of mistrust, undermining the foundations of societal trust. Serious damage can occur to both individuals and legal entities. This article analysis the offense of false identity as stipulated in the Romanian Criminal Code. False identity fraud is the deed of the person who presents himself under a false identity or assigns such an identity to another person with the intent to induce or mislead a public servant or the entity in which he works in order to produce a legal consequence.
