BOSTON — A Dominican national previously residing in Malden was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Boston for committing passport fraud in Lynn.
Jairo Antonio Feliz, 35, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock to six months in prison and three years of supervised release. He will face deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence.
In November 2011, Feliz applied for a U.S. passport at a post office in Lynn using the name and Social Security number of a U.S. citizen.
In October 2012, Feliz again applied for a U.S. passport at a post office in Lynn using the name and Social Security number of a different U.S. citizen.
Feliz pleaded guilty in December 2020 to two counts of making a false statement in a passport application.
