Several shady companies located in the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, or India offer illegal documents. You find them online and all you have to do is to send them money and they will send you passports or citizenships cards, claiming they are official.

What they do is actually use passports of dead people (replacing the picture) or blank faulty passports that have been printed off-line.

How to avoid: never take the risk of ordering a passport through an online company -you don’t want to go behind bars.
