Combating Forgery Crime in the Kingdom: Penalties and Prevention Measures
Forgery is a criminal offense that is severely punished under the law in the Kingdom. It comes in various forms and involves different kinds of documents, including official documents, contracts, checks, and other financial documents.
The handling of forgery crimes adheres to the Kingdom’s penal system. It is considered a felony that calls for interference from security bodies and public prosecution. The legal procedures aim to protect the Kingdom’s legal and financial system and maintain integrity and trust in official transactions.
Moreover, the forgery department of Economic and financial crimes plays a critical role in fighting crime and reducing forgery incidents. By enforcing strict penalties on the accused, a strong deterrent is provided to discourage individuals from committing such an offense.
A frequently asked question is, what is the penalty for forgery? The penalty varies depending on the nature and severity of the forgery. In the most serious cases, such as forging official government documents, counterfeiting currencies, or bank forgery, the penalties can be severe, potentially leading to imprisonment from one to five years and fines of up to 500,000 Saudi Riyals.
Additionally, we mention the penalty for forging a conventional instrument, which could lead to imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 300,000 Saudi Riyals.
These penalties can be supplemented by requiring the accused to pay for the damages resulting from their crime. This can include compensating for financial damages, reputational damages, and moral damages incurred by the parties affected by the forgery.

This initiative aims to protect the rights of consumers, producers, and investors and boost confidence in the national economy.
The initiative includes several steps, such as:
