ID Theft and False ID Charges in Nevada

It is a serious crime to obtain or use documents showing a false or stolen identity. The most common form of false identification most people think of is a driver’s license, but this may also apply to credit cards, bank forms and a number of other legal or financial documents. Assuming someone else’s identity is referred to as identity theft and is a serious federal offense. Using a fake ID or stolen ID is also a serious crime.

If you or someone you know was busted for using a fake ID in or around Las Vegas, Nevada you will benefit from consulting a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. At the De Castroverde Law Group, we are long-time Nevada residents who understand the particular offenses that occur most frequently in Las Vegas. Because the legal age to drink and gamble is 21, some may obtain or use fake IDs for this purpose. Others may wish to use a false ID so they are not recognized in a casino. Whatever the reason, the penalties are real. Fines and imprisonment are two of the criminal penalties which may be imposed. The particular charges and the severity of penalties will vary depending upon what form of ID was used, as well as for what purpose.
