CRIMINAL IMPERSONATION

Under CRS 18-5-113, it is illegal in Colorado to falsely impersonate someone else in the following five situations:

1) Marrying - or pretending to marry - another person (when that person is unaware of the falseness);
2) Posting bail or surety in court;
3) Signing a legal document with the intent to pass it off as true;
4) Performing an act that – if done by the person who is impersonated - would subject that person to a legal or financial penalty.
5) Performing any act with intent to unlawfully gain a benefit, or to injure or defraud another person.

Criminal impersonation can be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the facts of the case.

People charged with criminal impersonation may be able to get the charge dismissed by arguing that either:

1) No impersonation ever occurred;
2) The defendant had no intent to defraud; or
3) Even if the defendant did pose as someone else, he or she did nothing illegal in violation of CRS 18-5-113.
