Reasearch Associates are aware that 'Forensic Document Examination' is one of the most difficult and taxing areas of forensic science; whilst having a rich and well established history in both British and international courts of law.

The discipline of Forensic Document Examination is extensive, involving the study of a broad range of document to determine authenticity; to expose counterfeits and forgeries, and to reveal aspects of a document's origin and history. Additional to handwriting and signature authentication, our forensic document examiners study inks, impressions, printing, typewriting, alterations, photocopies and the wider products of modern office technology; which are generally areas of expertise beyond "handwriting experts", who tend to work within more limiting disiplines.
