Can the settlement certificate be forged?
You can't. Settlement vouchers have certain legal effect, and it is illegal for buyers and sellers to forge settlement vouchers as important vouchers when trading. The function of the settlement certificate is to prove that the loan in the financial institution has been paid off, which is simply a voucher. With this voucher, you can prove that you have paid off the loan and are eligible to get back what you mortgaged when you borrowed it.
