Default Is it illegal to get a forged Yellow Card (Carte Jaune) for travel in africa?


I don't know if it is really "forged" but I was offered a card filled out, stamped and signed by the doctor but without getting any shots. Apparently the shots are in short supply or something (I already in africa wanting to travel to a nearby country.)
filled out with my passport number and name (it is handwritten except for the WHO stamp.) I haven't done it yet, but I was told that it was very common and just the "way things get done in africa" by a mission family I met.
lol, ok i guess it obviously would be forged, but it was an american MISSIONARY family who told me to do it and showed me the ones that they had bought for themselves!

Yes. Forgery itself is illegal.

If you even have to ask a question like this then something is wrong with your set of values. Forgery is a crime, so a forged anything would be illegal and invalid.

It's illegal, and why would you not get the shots? You could prob get away with it but seriously, why not just get the shots? It's easy to get sick there.

Do it legally or run the risk of being refused entrance to your home country.
