The impact of this mass forgery is severe, affecting everything from personal status to national security. Fake IDs allowed criminals and foreign nationals to access government jobs, salaries, health benefits, and even vote in elections. In some cases, forged IDs enabled individuals to evade criminal sentences or enter security positions. The use of a deceased person’s ID for marriage illustrates how innocent people, such as wives and children, can become entangled. Women may unknowingly marry someone under a false identity, with years elapsing before discovery. Children may inadvertently lose their official status, and entire families’ legal rights—such as inheritance, travel, and citizenship—may be jeopardized.
