The Document Forgery Office is one of the five businesses you gain access to once you own a Motorcycle Club.

These businesses don't necessarily create as much income as other content, such as the Cayo Perico Heist, and despite what some people say they're not exactly passive income, but they do accomplish a lot of the work passively, making for a quick influx of cash after just a few sell missions.

For some of these businesses the rate on investment, both of time and money, is well worth it. The Document Forgery Office is not one of them. If you're in this for profit, you're better off purchasing the Cocaine Lockup, the Methamphetamine Lab, and the Counterfeit Cash Factory, in that order.

However, if you just really want to run a Document Forgery Office, or maybe you're a completionist and want to own all five of the Motorcycle Club, go for it!

In this article we’ll tell you everything you need to know about how to set up the Document Forgery Office in GTA V Online, from locations to upgrades to max payout and more so read on!

GTA V Online Weed Farm Best Location

As with all GTA V Online businesses, the only things that really make one location better than another are price and convenience. The businesses themselves are exactly the same no matter the location.

Here's a list of all the Weed Farm locations and their prices in GTA V Online:

  • Grapeseed (GTA$ 650,000)
  • Paleto Bay (GTA$ 732,000)
  • Elysian Island (GTA$ 975,000)
  • Textile City (GTA$ 1,235,000)

If you purchased the Counterfeit Cash Factory, the Cocaine Lockup, and the Methamphetamine Lab in the locations we recommended (Grand Senora Desert/Alamo Sea), then the closest Document Forgery Office location would be the cheapest one, the Grapeseed location. The cheapest Motorcycle Clubhouse location is also somewhat nearby, but overall this Document Forgery Office location is not that close and will be annoying to add to your bulk sell mission sessions.

Some gamers recommend the Textile City location, and if you want you could also purchase the Cocaine Lockup and Methamphetamine Lab in that area. However, we've found that having these businesses in Los Santos is not ideal. Perhaps if you're always playing in a private session this wouldn't be a problem.

In any case it's always best to have all of your businesses in close proximity to each other so that you can complete all of your sell missions in a row without having to drive all over San Andreas (at least, not quite as much). If you also purchase a close-by Bunker location then you're really set for some profitable bulk sell mission sessions.

But since the Document Forgery Office is more of a recreational property than a work horse, you may just want to purchase whichever location strikes your fancy.

How To Set Up A Document Forgery Office in GTA V Online

For each of the MC Club businesses you'll need to complete an initial setup mission.

In the case of the Document Forgery Office, you need to steal a bag of supplies and bring it back to the office. This is pretty easy but if you're not sure what to do, follow these steps:

  1. Once you purchase the business, drive to it and go inside.
  2. Access the laptop and select Set Up.
  3. Drive to the location indicated and get the bag.
  4. At this point, if you're in a public session, you'll become visible to other players and they may try to destroy or steal your supplies. If you don't want to deal with that be sure to start this setup in a private session.
  5. Once you get the bag back to your Document Forgery Office, the mission will be complete.

Once you're done with the setup mission you'll be ready for business! However, we wouldn't recommend getting started quite yet. This business really only becomes worthwhile once you've made a few upgrades.

GTA V Online Document Forgery Office Upgrades

Once you've completed the setup mission you can go back to the laptop inside your Document Forgery Office to purchase upgrades. See the options, and their prices, below.

Document Forgery Office Upgrades

  • Equipment Upgrade (GTA$ 550,000) - Speeds up production rate, increases product value, makes supplies last longer.
  • Staff Upgrade (GTA$ 195,000) - Speeds up production rate, increases value of product.
  • Security Upgrade (GTA$ 285,000) - Reduces chance of raids or attacks.

We highly recommend both the Equipment Upgrade and the Staff Upgrade as soon as possible. This will greatly increase the payout potential (see the grid below for details). The Security Upgrade is not really necessary. Raids and Attacks are pretty rare, but when they do happen they're pretty annoying so it's up to you whether you want a little bit of extra protection.

GTA V Online Document Forgery Office Max Payout

The grid above shows you exactly how your payout will change when you change different variables of your business.

To get absolute max payout you'll want the following things:

  • Equipment and Staff Upgrades
  • Sell Remote
  • Steal Supplies

For the three MC Club businesses that are considered to be worth it, the Cocaine Lockup, the Counterfeit Cash Factory, and the Methamphetamine Lab, we recommend purchasing supplies instead of stealing it because it's you'll make enough money to make up for it.

For the Document Forgery Office, as well as the Weed Farm, you will not make enough profit if you're also paying for supplies. This means if you're going to run this business you better enjoy those steal missions or not really care about turning much of a profit.

How to Run a Document Forgery Office In GTA V Online

In case it's not clear, here's how all MC Club businesses, as well as the Bunker, work:

  1. Get supplies (by buying or stealing)
  2. Wait for product to be made
  3. Sell product
  4. Repeat

As mentioned above, some people consider this to be a passive income business because the product creation part is passive. (There are some actually passive ways to make money in GTA V Online. Check out our article on it, How to Get Completely Passive Income in GTA V Online.

Most people will start out a gaming session by making sure their supplies are maxed out. Then they'll do whatever they feel like, be it working on the Cayo Perico Heist or maybe gathering some Daily Collectibles, etc. Some players even just go afk to wait for their businesses to produce.

It will take 3 hours for your Document Forgery Office product to be fully stocked, but if you're playing solo you'll want to sell earlier than that. This is because if you have too much stock you'll have quite a few vehicles full of stock to deliver and will likely run out of time before you can deliver it all.

If you're in a private session, and thus don't have to worry about other players slowing you down, you can probably sell at least half the maximum amount of product by yourself successfully.

If you're not sure how to complete a sell mission, it's pretty much the same as Bunker sell missions, except the scenarios will be different and in general they are much simpler. Check out our article on How to Complete Bunker Sell Missions (Gunrunning) in GTA Online for general guidance on how to properly execute a sell mission.

Here's some more fun info: If you own a Nightclub you can run this business through there, making it an even more hands-off experience. Or if you prefer to look at all of your businesses in one places, you can purchase the Master Control Terminal upgrade for the Arcade and handle all of your businesses from there.

Is The Document Forgery Office Worth It In GTA V Online

Definitely not. The Document Forgery Office is not worth the trouble, time, or money. It's literally the worst MC Club business.

The total setup cost of this property, including upgrades and the Textile City location, is GTA$ 1,980,000. It'll take around 47 hours for you you to make this much money back with the business. That's a lot longer than the other better Motorcycle Club businesses.

If you were going to buy just one MC Club business, buy the Cocaine Lockup. If you buy three, add to it theMethamphetamine Lab and the Counterfeit Cash Factory, in that order.

We're not sure why anyone would want to buy the Document Forgery Office, but hey we don't know you. We don't know what goes on in your head. If after everything you've read in this article this business still seems appealing to you, live your truth. You do you. Follow your bliss.

Why Is My GTA V Online Document Forgery Office Not Producing?

In case your Document Forgery OFfice stops working, here's some help that Rockstar Support offers to get it producing product again.

Question: What should I do if my Motorcycle Club business is not producing any product?

Answer: Whether you are managing your business through the Nightclub, the Master Control Terminal, or from your Motorcycle Club laptop, here are a few things to check to be sure your business can produce product:

Make sure all of the following conditions are met:

  • The Set-Up Mission for the business has been completed
  • The Business has supplies available
  • If you are managing the Business from the Nightclub, a Nightclub Technician must be assigned to the desired product
  • You are playing while registered as a Motorcycle Club President

Depending on the product, you should see your product level increase after 30 to 50 minutes of play if all of the above conditions are met.

If the business continues to not produce any product despite confirming everything written above, try the following steps:

  1. Shut down the Business.
  2. Play online in a public session for more than 30 minutes.
  3. Re-open the Business and play as a Motorcycle Club President, making sure the conditions above are met.
