Document Examination

Document examination is the process used to analyze and evaluate documents to verify their authenticity and to gather information about them. This can include handwriting analysis, ink identification, and examining the paper type. Forensic document examiners look for signs of forgery or alterations, compare signatures, and assess the overall integrity of a document. This practice is often employed in legal cases, fraud investigations, and historical research to ensure that documents are genuine and to understand their origins and history. It plays a crucial role in upholding the integrity of written records.
