Knowing how to forge a signature can be useful in an emergency. Learning the art of an autograph and forging it perfectly is fun, and you can get started by faking a “Benjamin Franklin” or “Marilyn Monroe” signature for starters. Forging a signature with the intention of defrauding another person is a crime, so be careful using these techniques. Here's how to forge a signature so perfectly that no one else can see the difference.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Oil Paper
Step 1. Place the parchment paper on top of the original signature
Grease paper is see-through paper, so you can clearly see what's behind it. If you don't have parchment paper, you can use thin plain white paper.
Step 2. Use a pencil to slowly imitate the signature
Make sure your hand is calm and slowly follow the lines, circles, and dots in the signature. Try not to shake your hand or lift the pencil when you are in the process of forging a signature. To produce a convincing signature, keep the following important points in mind:
- line thickness. In general, people put more emphasis on some parts of the signature. For example, maybe the right side of the circle "l" is thicker than the left.
- Signature slope. When you forge a signature, pay attention to the slope of the signature and make sure you follow it.
- Order of letter formation. For example, does the person center line the letter “t” and dot the letter “i” after completing his/her signature? This can affect the final result of the signature. It's a small thing, but it makes a big difference between a good fake signature and one that's easily identifiable as a fake.
Step 3. Place the parchment paper over the blank where you want to forge a signature
Make sure the paper is laid out perfectly so that it looks like a regular signature. Many people have sloppy and crooked signatures, so take this into account when you want to forge a signature.
Step 4. Create a signature imprint
Use a pencil or other writing utensil to apply pressure over the fake signature to imprint the part of the signature you want. However, don't apply so much pressure that the paper tears, or changes the appearance of the signature.
A thick trail will make a fake signature easy to spot, so try to make it as subtle as possible but still visible so you can bold it with a ballpoint pen
Step 5. Get rid of the parchment paper and write a signature with a pen
Start writing your signature carefully. Don't raise your hand or move it – try to make the signature appear normal.
Method 2 of 3: Freehanding
Step 1. Learn the real signature
Look closely at the original signature and notice how it was made. Everyone has a different signature, and if you want to fake it without learning it first, you're likely going to make a mistake. Keep these factors in mind when you forge a signature:
- Pay attention to where the letters connect. Is there a lot of overlap or a lot of spacing between letters?
- Pay attention to the letter formation. Can the letters be read? Is it oddly shaped? Are there wrinkles? Is there too much decoration?
- Pay attention to the height and size of the circle. Is it big and wavy? Is it small and sharp? Creating the correct circle is important in forging a signature.
- Pay attention to the slope. Is the signature slanted left or right? How skewed is the signature?
- What is the distance between the signature and the line below it?
Step 2. Look at the signature upside down
This will help you see the signature from the other side. View a signature as an image, not as a signature. This will help you to see more clearly and also help you to fake it more neatly, as opposed to using your habits to create your personal signature.
Step 3. Forge signature multiple times
This will smoothen your feel for the lines and curves of the signature of the person you are trying to fake. Be careful to follow the movement of the person's original signature.
Step 4. Practice the freehanding technique
When you start to understand the signature you want to forge, start doing it freely. You will need a lot of practice before your signature looks the same as the original. The difficulty of getting it right may surprise you! Signatures are extremely difficult to forge, which is why signatures are still used as a way to certify legal documents.
- As you practice, note the slight differences between the original signature and the signature you created. Make the necessary adjustments.
- Keep practicing until the forging of the signature feels natural, and you can forge the signature without pause.
Step 5. You have to be confident
When it's time to forge a signature using pen on paper, you need to be confident enough, without lifting a pen or spending a lot of time writing it. A signature written with confidence will look more authentic than a signature that takes time and care to write. Sign quickly and avoid the urge to change it – there's no turning back.
Method 3 of 3: Avoid the Trap
Step 1. Pay attention to what you write
Many novice signature forgers pay so much attention to the real signature that they forget what they have written. If you pay more attention to your signature than your own writing, your fake signature will look weak and weird. It is a self-trap that states that you have forged someone else's signature.
If you don't have much time to practice before forging a signature, your best hope is to learn the signature, note down the important elements, and write the signature as natural as possible when you see what you're working on
Step 2. Don't change
The sign that a signature is a fake is when it is clearly seen that the signature was changed. Think about it – are you going to fix your own signature? No. You probably don't care about the haphazard "t" or the half-finished "b". It is abnormal to see such errors and correct them.
Step 3. Don't pick up your pen
Think about how you sign your name. You'll definitely do it in one go, with the pen sticking to the paper. Signatures with a little distance indicate that the person doing the signature had stopped, lifted the pen, then continued again, is a sign that the signature is a fake. When you fake your signature, avoid this big mistake and fake your signature as naturally as possible.
Step 4. Make each signature slightly different
People don't sign their names the same way every time. It's easy to spot fake signatures when you see signatures across multiple documents, with signatures all looking the same. This is a problem you can run into if you use parchment paper to forge a signature. Be sure to do something a little different each time to make the signature look authentic.
Tips
- Copy the signature several times.
- If you don't have greaseproof paper, you can lift both papers up to a window or onto a bright object.
- Save the parchment paper for later use.
- If anyone suspects your fake autograph, act like they're joking & you can't fake your signature.
- Pay attention to the color of the pen that the person you are trying to forge signature uses. If he's used to using a red ballpoint pen, use a red one. If he is used to using a pencil, use a pencil, and so on. This is important so that you can successfully forge a signature.
Warning
- When providing fake documents, be confident and don't stress so you don't get caught.
- Don't be stupid: remember that it is against the law to forge a signature.
- Don't press the pencil too hard or there will be marks on the paper where you forged your signature.
- Never forge the signature of a very important person (example: Queen of England).
