An anti-counterfeiting method for a document (10, 70, 90), in particular a credit title, an insurance document, a permit or a transport document (10, 70, 90), said method comprising the steps of: - printing on said document (10, 70, 90) at least one printed data field of visible characters (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92), said printed data field comprising identification data of said document, in particular property data, data of objects or persons, or validity data of said document (10, 70, 90); - reading (30, 30') the data of said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92); - generating a cutting signal correspondingly to said reading (30, 30') step of the data of said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92; cutting said document (10, 70, 90) in a predetermined zone thereof on the basis of said cutting signal, said cutting step comprising a step of creation on said document, near said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92), of a cut data field (12a, 14a, 17a, 19a, 72a, 92a) in an inerasable and visible way, said cut data field (12a, 14a, 17a, 19a, 72a, 92a) consisting of visible cut characters that are a duplication of the visible characters of said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92), said cut data field arranged to allow a visual comparison by a user between said cut data field and said printed data field, - said method being characterized in that said method during said printing step provides printing a predetermined activation/command code on said document (10, 70, 90) and in that said reading step (30, 30') provides the further steps of: - reading (30, 30') said activation/command code printed on said document (10, 70, 90) in said printing step; - optically recognizing said activation/command code; - associating said activation/command code with the identification data of said document, - generating a cutting signal corresponding to said identification data; cutting said document (10, 70, 90) responsive to said cutting signal in order to generate a text/command triggered by said predetermined activation/command code that reproduces said cut data field (12a, 14a, 17a, 19a, 72a, 92a) near said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92). - printing on said document (10, 70, 90) at least one printed data field of visible characters (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92), said printed data field comprising identification data of said document, in particular property data, data of objects or persons, or validity data of said document (10, 70, 90); - reading (30, 30') the data of said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92); - generating a cutting signal correspondingly to said reading (30, 30') step of the data of said printed data field (12, 14, 17, 19, 72, 92; - said method being characterized in that said method during said printing step provides printing a predetermined activation/command code on said document (10, 70, 90) and in that said reading - reading (30, 30') said activation/command code printed on said document (10, 70, 90) in said printing step; - optically recognizing said activation/command code; - associating said activation/command code with the identification data of said document, - generating a cutting signal corresponding to said identification data;
