| | Questioned document examination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A document examiner may be certified by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners, Inc. (ABFDE), which was formed in 1977 with a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. | | | A forensic document examiner deals with items that form part of a case which may or may not come before a court of law. | | | Questioned document examination is known by many names including forensic document examination, document examination, diplomatics, handwriting examination, and sometime handwriting analysis, although the latter name is not often used as it may be confused with graphology. |

| | Although examiners may be qualified to offer testimony in court after satisfactory completion of the training programme, this does not indicate that they have the same degree of knowledge as a senior document examiner. | | | The historical and legal backgrounds that ultimately led to document examination or document evidence being accepted by the courts came about due to the reliability and repetibility of the results obtained by bona-fide practitioners in the examination of documents. | | | Nowadays document examiners are trained in all facets of document examination. |
