Fake or false documents feature in the majority of modern financial frauds and are the greatest menace facing in the international trading community.

Financial institutions, traders, insurance companies, shipping agents and other intermediaries all rely on transport documents such as Bills of Lading, Seaway Bills, Airway Bills, CMR and FCR when making decisions. A document that appears genuine can induce a bank to pay for goods or finance a trade. It can prompt an insurance company to grant cover on a ship or shipment, or indemnify a fraudulent claimant. It may lead a shipping agent to release a cargo to someone that is not entitled to it.

It is important to remember that any document can be forged. In today's business world, fake documents mostly copy the style of a legitimate trader and it can be difficult for a non-experienced eye to spot the difference.

Incorporation and formation documents are all very important legal documents, as well as merger documents. If your business is expanding its operations, you’ll see real estate and leasing paperwork being checked internationally. Patent applications and trademark paperwork must work across borders.

Documents for tax and probate purposes, regulatory paperwork for agency requirement certifications, the list goes on.

Even just making copies for use internationally can require regular document authentication services. Often, duplicated documents need original signatures, and each time those documents are signed, the authenticity of that new document will need to be verified.

Many corporations place their trust in a reliable third party which often comes with a high cost and causes delay to your business process. By printing the legal documents on paper provided by TRUSTDoc or at your own "White Labelled Brand", you are allowing authentication of your documents for any international affair.

Inside and outside of the corporate world, the chain of trust that document authentication creates can be used extensively. If the person checking your document is unsure, they can authenticate the document you provide instantly with their mobile phone and contact the document owner accordingly when necessary.
