n Pennsylvania, prosecutors cannot hold you criminally liable for unsworn falsification to authorities if your statements were simply “mistaken” and not intended to mislead or deceive. For example, if you are applying for a driver’s license renewal and you mistakenly write down the wrong medical condition with which you have been diagnosed and that might prevent you from being renewed, an intent to mislead does not exist and no crime has been committed.

 

Unsworn falsification to authorities is defined by Section 4904 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. Under the statute, a criminal defendant may be held liable for unsworn falsification if the prosecution establishes that the defendant:

1. Intended to mislead a public servant performing an official function; by
2. Making any written false statement which he does not believe to be true; or
3. Submitting or inviting reliance on any writing which he knows to be forged, altered, or otherwise lacking in authenticity; or
4. Submitting or inviting reliance on any sample, specimen, map, boundary mark, or other object which he knows to be false.

For example, suppose that you are applying for a gun license. You knowingly lie about having been convicted or charged with a prior crime on your application. The courts will determine that your actions were intended to mislead the public servant (performing an official function), and that the written statement was false.
