Answering strictly as the question is worded - - provided there was no intent to deceive or defraud, it is legal. Two elements must be present to form a crime - (1) a criminal act done with (2) a criminal intent. If your intent was not 'criminal' it may be questionable, but it is not illegal.

"Illegal" is against or contrary to the law.

Depends on the intensity of the faked document. If you fake property related documents you might probably be jailed. It also depends on how high-profile the document is and you are. A lot of public embarrassment could follow when you are found out. Fraud is illegal, and there can be big penalties. If you claim an academic degree you don't really have, and then you end up as superintendent of schools and someone looks up your record, you are going to be publicly humilated all over the newspapers and forced to resign. This happened in my city. If you forge a potentially valuable document and try to sell it, you're a criminal.
