COLJI-Crim. F:143
FALSELY COMPLETE (IDENTITY THEFT AND RELATED OFFENSES)
To “falsely complete” a written instrument or financial device means
to transform an incomplete written instrument or financial device into a
complete one by adding, inserting, or changing matter without the
authority of anyone entitled to grant that authority, so that the complete
written instrument or financial device falsely appears or purports to be in
all respects an authentic creation of or fully authorized by its ostensible
maker; or to transform an incomplete written instrument or financial
device into a complete one by adding or inserting materially false
information or adding or inserting a materially false statement.
A materially false statement is a false assertion that affects the action,
conduct, or decision of the person who receives or is intended to receive
the asserted information in a manner that directly or indirectly benefits the
person making the assertion.
