The signature reflects the unique individuality of a person and is his business card. However, fraudsters often use forged signatures to carry out their criminal intent. But do not despair, because you can prove that the signature is fake. Moreover, imitation of someone else's signature is a criminally punishable act and can entail not only administrative but also criminal liability.

Step 1
When forging a signature, the forger strives to make the forged signature as similar as possible to the original signature as convincingly as possible. This is achieved by imitating the handwriting and signature of the person on whose behalf the signature is made, as well as using certain techniques that help to most accurately reproduce the original signature.
Step 2
There are certain ways to forge signatures. These include sketching the signature with a pencil followed by tracing, copying the signature through carbon paper in the light, applying a dye from a genuine signature to a forged document using special substances that have increased copying ability. Cases of forgery of signatures using a personal computer or printer are not uncommon.
Step 3
Knowing about certain signs of imitation of signatures, you can expose the offender and call to account. Taking a good look at the forged signature, it is possible to notice the slowness of movements, which is manifested by the sinuousness of the straight lines and the angularity of the oval elements of the letters; the presence of overlapping of two groups of strokes - primary, previously made with a pencil, as well as secondary, resulting from the subsequent stroke. In any case of copying, the signs of a forged signature will differ significantly from those of the original signature. After all, it is very difficult to maintain the accuracy of movements when stroking.
Step 4
The authenticity of signatures on documents can be established through handwriting and technical research. The main task of these examinations is not only to establish the identity of the person who wrote this or that text by handwriting, but also to determine the presence of a special change in handwriting.
Step 5
Handwriting examination is also able to reveal the circumstances under which the signature of the document was made and the presence of natural internal and external factors of the author of the signature. To carry out such a procedure, it is only necessary to prepare copies and originals of the materials under study.
