Which term best describes false evidence on a vehicle title?

• A. Felony
• B. Misdemeanor
• C. Infraction
• D. Civil violation

Answer: (A)

Falsifying a vehicle title is a serious crime called title fraud or forgery, because it involves knowingly creating or presenting false information in a public record to transfer ownership or conceal liens. That level of deception harms property rights and undermines trust in the transfer process, so it’s treated as a felony. Felonies carry heavier penalties, including potential prison time, which reflects the risk and impact of lying on official documents. Infraction and civil violation describe minor, non-criminal or civil consequences, and a misdemeanor sits in between but still wouldn’t normally apply to falsifying a public record like a vehicle title.
