If you made a false statement in an application for a driver's license or identification card can you be fined and placed in prison upon conviction?

Answer 1

Yes, because filling out a DMV application is filling out a state form. By putting false information on the form you can be convicted of Perjury. * Any penalties assessed would depend upon the nature of the false information. For instance presenting false documentation as to age in order to illegally obtain a license or an state ID to use for procuring alcohol. It would be almost impossible for someone to falsify such an application without the use of false documentation and that is what generally constitutes a felony charge, rather than the information the applicant enters on the required forms.
