Exemplar Collection

The following are some general guidelines for collecting handwriting/signature exemplars for comparison purposes.
Normal Course of Business Exemplars. These documents are normally signed and/or written during the course of business. These documents may include such items as cancelled checks, credit card receipts, employment applications, driver’s license, etc. Many sources of normal course of business documents are listed at the bottom of this page.
Ideally, these types of documents should date at or about the same time as the questioned document(s), and should be of similar type documents.
Said documents should also be comparable, i.e. of the same writing form. In other words, hand printing is compared with hand printing and cursive writing is compared with cursive writing, Generally, hand printing cannot be compared with cursive writing.
Attempt to submit as many known exemplar writings/signatures as possible.
Handwriting Exemplar Collection Forms are available; however, they are only recommended when normal course of writing is not available or very limited.
When requesting samples from a suspect, request that they write the text and/or sign the signatures in question numerous times. Dictate and do not show the questioned writing to the suspect during this process.
