Forensic document examination and graphology is a field that focuses on the examination and evaluation of written documents. Experts trained in this field can work on issues such as forgery detection, document analysis, verifying the identity of the person by examining handwriting, signatures and other written documents. Forensic document examination usually includes evidence analysis processes used in the legal system.

Graphology is based on the belief that handwriting and signature reflect personality traits. Therefore, by analysing the characteristics of a person’s handwriting, graphologists try to obtain various information about their personality, emotional state and way of thinking. However, graphology is a field that is not generally accepted in the scientific world because it is not based on a scientific basis and is generally based on subjective interpretations.
