Analysis of Document Authenticity
We examine documents and records to find evidence of forgery, counterfeiting, and tampering. The methods of forgery can be highly diverse, depending on the item being falsified. Counterfeiting, on the other hand, often involves more complex and industrial-scale processes.
Our services include the study and analysis of:
- Document and Manuscript Forgery: Analyzing alterations or distortions to a manuscript, seal, mark, or stamp, including changes made by addition, deletion, substitution, or partial destruction.
- Handwriting Forgery: The imitation of another person’s unique handwriting style.
- Contract, Document, and Record Forgery: The creation or alteration of official documents like passports, driver’s licenses, and academic certificates, as well as the production of entirely counterfeit documents.
- Manual Signature Forgery: The unauthorized replication or alteration of a signature, frequently used in financial fraud.
- Seal Impression Forgery: Examining seals attributed to either public entities (such as ministries) or private organizations.
- Currency Counterfeiting: The production of fake money, which can have serious economic implications.
- Digital Forgery: The manipulation of digital documents, images, and audio/video files using software tools.
- Printed Output Forgery: The examination of forged documents produced by printing machines.
- Alterations, Erasures, and Other Modifications: Analyzing changes made to existing documents, such as altering dates or monetary amounts.
