At checkpoints in the Lviv region, border guards detect fake documents every day. Most of them are submitted for verification by men who are restricted from leaving Ukraine during the martial law period.
Most often, border control inspectors detected signs of forgery in such documents as: a certificate from the military medical commission, a temporary certificate of a conscript, a pension certificate, a child’s birth certificate, a death certificate, etc. Also, in foreign passports, document verification teams revealed invalid notes about permanent registration or permanent residence abroad.
In general, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the state border guards in Lviv region have detained more than 1,900 violators who tried to leave Ukraine using “false” documents.
The border guards informed the employees of the National Police about all the facts of the use of fakes.
Liability for this offense is provided for in Art. 358 of the Criminal Code “Forgery of documents, seals, stamps and forms, sale or use of forged documents, seals, stamps”.
