Hi there. I was just wondering if producing a false id to visit someone in prison in Victoria is an imprisonable offence? If or when a person is caught doing this, what would the maximum penalty be?
Thanks in advance
:)

The general production of a falsified document is called 'uttering', and is an offence in most jurisdictions.

As others have said, yes it is an offence.

You realise that any identification that you make will be immediately detected right?
