What is Forensic Document Examination?
Forensic document examination involves scientifically analyzing documents to determine their authenticity and identify signs of tampering or forgery. This process applies to a wide range of documents, including legal agreements, financial records, personal identification papers, and even historical manuscripts. By scrutinizing handwriting, ink, paper, and other document elements, forensic experts can uncover inconsistencies and validate the document’s origin.
At GREVESGROUP, our forensic document verification experts are skilled at identifying even the most subtle signs of tampering, ensuring that your documents are genuine and admissible in court.
How Does Document Examination Work?
The document examination process involves detailed analysis and advanced techniques to assess the physical and textual elements of a document. Our experts follow a systematic approach that includes:
1. Collecting Questioned and Known Documents: We gather the disputed document alongside verified samples for comparison, such as authentic signatures or handwriting.
2. Visual and Microscopic Inspection: Using magnification tools, we examine documents for signs of erasures, overwriting, or inconsistencies in ink or paper.
3. Ink and Paper Analysis: Chemical tests reveal whether the ink and paper match the claimed age or source of the document.
4. Handwriting and Signature Analysis: Comparing questioned handwriting or signatures against known examples to confirm authorship or identify forgery.
5. Advanced Digital Tools: For electronic documents, we analyze metadata, digital signatures, and timestamps to verify authenticity.
Our meticulous process ensures that every detail is thoroughly examined, providing conclusive and court-admissible findings.
Can Document Examination Detect Forgery?
Yes, forensic document examination is highly effective in detecting forgeries. Whether it’s a forged signature, altered text, or an entirely fabricated document, forensic experts can uncover inconsistencies through detailed analysis. Methods Used to Detect Forgery:
1. Handwriting Analysis: Identifies discrepancies in stroke pressure, slant, and letter formation to detect forged signatures or handwriting.
2. Ink and Paper Testing: Determines whether the materials match the document’s purported origin or time period.
3. Alteration Detection: Uncovers erased, overwritten, or added text using microscopic and chemical analysis.
4. Printing and Typing Analysis: Analyzes printer characteristics or typewriter patterns to verify document authenticity.
At GREVESGROUP, our document forgery forensic services are tailored to expose even the most sophisticated attempts at falsification.

2. UV and IR Light Examination: Reveals hidden changes in ink or text that are undetectable under standard lighting.
3. Chemical Testing: Determines the composition of ink and paper to verify authenticity.
4. Digital Forensic Tools: Analyzes metadata and digital signatures in electronic documents for signs of tampering.
