A person \"makes\" a credit card when he makes or draws, in whole or in part, a device or instrument which purports to be the credit card of a named issuer but which is not such a credit card because the issuer did not authorize the making or drawing, or when he alters a credit card which was validly issued. A person \"embosses\" a credit card when, without the authorization of the named issuer, he completes a credit card by adding any other matter, other than the signature of the cardholder, which an issuer requires to appear on the credit card before it can be used by a cardholder.","path":["Chapter 30 - Criminal Offenses","ARTICLE 16 Larceny"],"source_url":"https://nmonesource.com/nmos/nmsa-unanno/en/item/18530/index.do","current_through":"2026-07-01","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T15:02:19Z","sha256":"5793aeb8aff5a701b793b410d81699a1cb1c167359b7184a72d6c5bd95fab072","source_id":"us-nm","stale":false,"prev":"us-nm/30-16-30","next":"us-nm/30-16-32"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
