With intent to defraud is an obvious answer. Perhaps how you do it mitigates other criminal acts. If you are using a corpse, God forbid, yes. If your intent is to get a death certificate yes, that’s a false instrument. But if you just went missing and someone petitioned the court for a declaration of death (usually missing 7 years) no. Fact is these days it’s pretty hard to hide.

RafaNo, faking your own death in and of itself is not illegal. HOWEVER, the reason for faking your death MAY BE. For instance:
To collect on life insurance IS illegal...
To escape prosecution IS illegal...
To fool a "friend" or two, is NOT...
Pretty much, the way to measure is simply "Is there money or federal/local law enforcement or other agency involved?" Then yes it is...
Further more, some of the actions you may have to undergo following your fake death stunt maybe. Illegally procuring a social security will land you in jail... Not paying taxes, in jail... Etc. Etc. Etc.
YES faking your own death can and usually will result in fraud charges. You can be charged the costs for your search (if one was mounted by the government/police), you can go to jail over taking proceeds from your life insurance after faking your own death... this is NOT a way out of your problems
No, a person attempting such action can be charged with numerous criminal and civil violations. YES, it is legal to fake your own death IF you have had someone to attempt to murder you twice (and you obviously lived) OR if you are in Nevada. As for the other states i don't know, you would have to look into it.
