Signature, Document, and Graphology Examinations
With our signature, document, and graphology examination services, we detect forgery and analyze the authenticity of documents. We provide reliable results through expert reports.
Forgery in documents, frequently encountered in forensic cases, includes checks, promissory notes, bonds, subscription agreements, protocols, power of attorney, ID cards, driver’s licenses, sales contracts, and rental agreements. Changes, additions, alterations, and the authenticity of documents are crucial, as elements like letters and handwriting also hold evidentiary value.
Due to their official nature, people often forge these documents to gain financial benefits or to harm another person. Since documents, promissory notes, letters, and handwriting (graphology) serve as evidence, identifying any alterations, additions, falsifications, and verifying their originality is important.
In forensic document examination, experts compare handwriting using computer software, chemical materials, and external hardware tools. Specialists and experienced professionals examine the document without damaging it to ensure the expert report is considered evidence.
