Forensic Document Examination

The paper trail never lies—if you know how to read it. We scientifically distinguish between a genuine signature and a skilled forgery.

The Art of the Fake

In Kenya, Land Title Deeds and Wills are the most forged documents. Fraudsters use advanced printers and aged paper to fool laymen.

However, every printer leaves a unique "machine fingerprint." Every writer has a unique "neuromuscular rhythm." Our lab uses Video Spectral Comparators (VSC) to see ink layers invisible to the naked eye.

Key Analysis Techniques

Handwriting Analysis

We analyze line quality, pressure patterns, and spacing. No two people write exactly alike, even when disguising their hand.

Ink Age Dating

Was this document really signed in 2015? Chemical analysis of ink volatility can reveal if a document was created last week.

Indented Writing

Using Electrostatic Detection Apparatus (ESDA), we recover invisible impressions left on legal pads from pages written above.

Court-Admissible Experts

Our examiners are qualified expert witnesses. We don't just give you a report; we stand by it in the High Court of Kenya to defend the truth.
