Not all, not even most. In some states, yes it is is legally gray area. They have no right to know that.

Some states this is illegal and some companies,
like Deloitte, do not as a policy. The market and your skills drive comp not the value your prior employer put on it.

They might ask for proof but unlikely. Theres also usually some general information about pay ranges for companies, size, and industries online.

This all may be true but if this is in context of an employment application, is this how you want to start out with the firm? You have to sign those attesting to their accuracy and this might even be fraud. Sure you might not be caught. But why not just negotiate for what your value is.
