English term or phrase: falsely registered
A criminal network handling stolen vehicles:

The vehicles are then falsely registered utilising UK identification plates using fraudulent documentation via the UK Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) and the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

Is the registration document itself forged or is it issued on the basis of false information/forged documents?

Explanation:
The registration is in the form of a genuine registration document, though this doesn't make it valid.
It depends on how you define "forged".
