Why is this training needed?
The police estimate that a large number of people live under false identities in Sweden. Forged passports, driving licenses, and work permits are very difficult to detect without the right knowledge.
Most forgeries are only discovered during police checks - long after the damage has already been done. Companies risk theft, insider crime, espionage, and insurance claim issues. Hiring someone with a false identity can also constitute a violation of the Aliens Act.
Sistec’s work includes physical identity checks and document examination before hiring and workplace access.

Manipulated or entirely fabricated passports used to establish a false identity.
Forged driving licenses
