Experience in forensic document examination is critical, as it not only involves technical knowledge but also the ability to interpret complex findings and present them clearly and persuasively in legal settings.

With decades of experience, our senior forensic document examiner has encountered a wide range of forgery techniques—both old and new. This makes him well-suited to detect even the most sophisticated methods of document fraud, from hand-forged signatures to high-tech digital forgeries.

Detecting erased contents  in documents can be approached in various ways depending on the type of document and the erasing method used.

Detecting alterations in documents can be crucial in resolving important matters. 

The examination of signatures is indeed a highly specialized process that integrates expertise, forensic techniques, and advanced technologies.

Key skill are required to understand the handwriting variability and identification of individualized writing characteristics.

The questioned signature is compared with the known exemplars for consistency in characteristics. The external or internal factor influencing the signatures of an individual are also taken in consideration.

Our forensic team can reliably distinguish between original documents and photocopies.

Photocopies may have inconsistencies such as graininess, pixelation, or blurred edges, especially around fine details like handwriting or small text.

Originals may include physical indentations from pen pressure and penetration of ink into the paper fibers. Photocopies reveal a surface-level deposition of toner particles, which often have a granular or “melted” appearance. The presence of satellite particles is common in laser printed documents.

Forensic digital enhancement of erased, faint, light, or faded handwriting is a meticulous process aimed at deciphering the original text. This process often requires specialized software and methodologies that go beyond basic image editing.

Our forensic document examiners use different techniques such as high-resolution scanning, image preprocessing, contrast enhancement, edge detection, multi-spectral Imaging (MSI), image subtraction technique, digital filtering and forensic software Tools to solve such matters.

When authors of anonymous notes attempt to disguise their handwriting, they often employ deliberate strategies to obscure their natural writing style. Understanding these techniques is critical in forensic handwriting analysis.

Disguises can include altering slant, using non-dominant hand, changing letter forms, overemphasizing flourishes or enlarging specific letters, adding unnecessary details to distract from natural handwriting traits or writing at different speeds etc.

Analyzing the chronological sequence of intersecting pen lines is a key technique in forensic document examination. It helps determine which line was written first when two or more lines cross or overlap.

This analysis is often used in cases involving additions, preparation of a document over pre-existing signature, changes in the entries in the records and interpolations etc.

Our forensic team has done lots of research in this specialized field and our laboratory is fully equipped to handle this type of matters.

Deciphering obliterations in documents is a critical aspect of forensic document examination. It involves specialized techniques and tools to recover hidden or obscured information

Our forensic document examiners use different techniques to decipher the obliterated matter.

Software applications are used to adjust contrast, brightness, and sharpness, making faint or obscured marks visible. A range of wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum are used to uncover information not visible under normal light conditions.
