my friend signed a document from city hall as Proof of accomadation but he misspelled my last name by 1 letter. I corrected it to my real name. Is it wrong to correct your last name on a document signed by someone else?
Does this count as a forging of a document. I know he signed it already but it was still a mistake.

i was applying for a visa and it was too late for me to wait for a new document.

the document is called "attestation d'accueil". Its for people to stay with their friends in France and is issued by city hall closest to friend's residence.

What you need to do is correct it and initial it then send it back to them or call them to see if you need to send it back to make the corrections. A misspelling of the name can cause a lot of problems even by just one letter.

There is nothing serious about it, and it is a common error.
The spelling correction should be initialled by your friend to acknowledge the amendment, and then a copy of the amended document should be submitted to the City Hall so they have accurate information on record.
The City Hall staff may ask for a new document, or they may accept it with the initialled amendment.

It can be corrected by crossing out the misspelling, then correct the spelling, the the person that signed the document has to initial the correction!

It depends on the document, but the best thing to have done is an addendum with correct spelling of your name, and signed by a Notary Public.

depends on the document. Some documents won't allow any corrections but that is based on the group or company, not specifically a legal matter

No. while you're attempting to acquire a driving force's license or some sort of government issued id, in basic terms clarify to them the typo. it extremely is as much as the clerk you handle to make a judgement call.

It isn't illegal, but you may want to have the original signor correct it so that it reads correctly.
