The Document Forgery Office is one of the five Motorcycle Club (MC) businesses available in GTA Online, purchased through the Maze Bank Foreclosures website. It operates as a passive income source, producing counterfeit documents like IDs and passports that are sold for profit. The business requires an initial investment to purchase the property and additional costs for upgrades (equipment, staff, security) to maximize efficiency.

To start production, you must source supplies by either stealing them (free but time-consuming) or buying them (costs $15,000 for a full bar). Once supplies are delivered, the business automatically generates product over time. You can then sell the product in delivery missions, which vary in difficulty and vehicle type. The sale value depends on the amount of product and distance to delivery points.

Compared to other MC businesses (e.g., Cocaine Lockup, Meth Lab), the Document Forgery Office has the lowest profit margin and slowest production rate. Even with double money events, it often remains less lucrative than alternatives. Many players skip it or only use it to fill the Nightclub warehouse (via the Technician assignment). Prices and payouts change with game updates, so always check the current in-game values before investing.

Why it matters: For completionists or role-players, it adds variety. For money-making, it's generally not recommended unless you have spare cash and want to maximize Nightclub passive income (as it can be assigned to a Technician without needing to run the business actively).

Tips

  • Only buy the Document Forgery Office if you plan to assign it to a Nightclub Technician for passive income; otherwise, it's a poor investment.
  • Always steal supplies instead of buying them to maximize profit, as the profit margin is already low.
  • Sell in a full lobby for the high-demand bonus, but be prepared for potential griefers. Use Ghost Organization to hide your sale.
  • Upgrade equipment and staff first; security is optional unless you get raided often.
  • Combine with other MC businesses to fill your Nightclub warehouse faster; each business assigned to a Technician generates goods independently.
  • During double money weeks, this business can be worth running, but still compare with other activities like Heists or CEO crates.

FAQ

Is the Document Forgery Office worth buying?
Generally no, unless you want to complete your MC business collection or use it for Nightclub passive income. It has the lowest profit of all MC businesses.
Can I run the Document Forgery Office without being an MC President?
No, you must register as an MC President to manage supplies and sales. However, you can assign it to a Nightclub Technician without being an MC President.
Does the Document Forgery Office get raided?
Yes, if you are an MC President and the business has product and supplies, it can be raided. Security upgrade reduces raid frequency.
