Abstract
One of the tasks of the state specified in Article 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997 is to ensure security of its citizens. The aim of the study is to show a relationship between crimes against document credibility listed in Chapter XIX of the Penal Code and the security of citizens. The main conclusion resulting from the analysis of the selected topic was that forgery of travel documents is a significant factor threatening citizen safety. The above results from the fact that documents very often serve as both an object and a tool in many crimes. Therefore, they constitute an activity of a preparatory nature before committing further criminal acts, as well as a way of hiding traces of other crimes. It should be emphasized that the use of false documents, and thus their introduction into legal circulation, means that a person illegally using such documents legally acquires many rights.
