Question

Can I get away with forging?

Community Answer

Yes, I've done it. You just have to practice a lot so the person's signature becomes second nature to you.

Question

Will teachers get mad if you forge a signature?

You're welcome

Community Answer

Probably. It's showing disrespect and they won't trust you anymore. You could also get in big trouble with your parent or guardian.

Question

Is forging your own signature illegal?

Community Answer

No, it is not possible to forge your own signature. If you sign your actual name, then it is not forging, it's just plain old signing.

Question

How hard is it to prove that it’s forged?

Community Answer

This depends on how similar it is to the original signature. If the signature looks similar at first sight, then it is unlikely for it to be examined in any more depth. However, there is always an off chance where the person examining the signature may think that it has been forged. If that happens, they may ask questions, do tests or simply refuse to accept the signature without the presence of the actual signer.
