A questioned document may be unavailable for submission to a forensic laboratory for a variety of reasons. As a result, many disputed documents are not subjected to any rigorous, analytical forensic examination that may potentially play an instrumental role in a particular case. As a full-service forensic document laboratory, Applied Forensics maintains an On Scene Document Examinations unit; a unique service where our examiners can perform a variety of scientific document examinations and analyses in the field.
