Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Forensic Document Examination:

Q. Can you tell who forged a signature?                                                               A. First it is important to establish if a signature is forged or not by comparing it to a number of usual signatures of the writer, then if it is forged, the second step is to try to find out who could have written it.

Q. If a handwriting is disguised is it possible to tell who wrote a poison pen letter?   A. It is often possible to tell who wrote in a disguised hand because it is very difficult to write for any length of time without lapsing into one’s normal hand at certain points.

Q. If I receive a malicious letter what should I do?                                               A. If the content is threatening to you or your property take it straight to the Police. Avoid handling the letter and envelope too much. Put the letter and envelope in a clear plastic bag or covering to preserve any fingerprints or DNA.
