Impersonation and Identity Fraud (including digital forgery)

Rhode Island's criminal identity fraud statute. It covers producing or trafficking false IDs, using another person's means of identification (including biometric data) or financial information to defraud, and impersonating a person or entity with intent to defraud. A 2026 amendment added 'digital forgery': creating or distributing AI-generated or other forged likenesses or voice recordings of real people to facilitate fraud.
