UTTERING & PUBLISHING

Uttering and publishing involves the publication of a forged instrument. One of the more common situations involves issuing a forged check. However, the charge is not limited to checks alone. Presenting any type of forged or false instrument as genuine can result in uttering and publishing charges. For example, presenting a false purchase receipt for refund in a retail situation. The law reads as follows:

Any person who shall utter and publish as true, any false, forged, altered or counterfeit record, deed, instrument or other writing mentioned in the preceding section, knowing the same to be false, altered, forged or counterfeit, with intent to injure or defraud as aforesaid, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 14 years.

Many municipalities have their own local ordinance version of forgery and/or uttering and publishing which are generally misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days of incarceration.
