Given the ever-increasing development and complexity of societies, fraud in real estate and registration matters is considered one of the most important examples of economic and social crimes. This type of crime, which occurs in the context of the official document and property registration process, involves the illegal exploitation of registered information and documents, such as official documents, with the aim of obtaining illegitimate financial or legal benefits. The distinctive feature of this crime is its direct dependence on registration and ownership mechanisms, which distinguishes it from general fraud. Registration fraud can be achieved through the provision of fake documents, false information, or abuse of legal procedures in real estate, financial, and commercial transactions, and has consequences such as the loss of public trust, the violation of legitimate property rights, and disruption of economic and social order. Therefore, identifying the dimensions and methods of committing this crime, analyzing the challenges in the registration system, and providing preventive and corrective solutions is an inevitable necessity to promote transparency and efficiency in the field of document and property registration.
