A Forensic Document Examination Subject; Separation of Photocopy and Original in Documents General Information His study evaluates the methods of distinguishing between photocopies and originals of documents of questionable authenticity, which are frequently brought up in forensic document examinations, with a case report. Forensic document examination is of great importance in establishing social trust. In contracts between individuals or between individuals and institutions, the procedures for preparing the documents, as well as the facts contained in the documents, are accepted as criteria by the judicial authorities. Before further examination (writing, signature, ability to seduce, etc.) is carried out on the forensic document, from time to time, whether the document is a photocopy or not is the subject of lawsuits, and therefore graphologists have an important duty. Case The 3-page will dated 22.07.1967 sent to us by the court was evaluated by us. Considering technical issues such as the presence and distribution of toner in the document, photocopy symptoms, obvious storage conditions, natural aging chart, absence of print marks and ink residue, it was understood that the document in question was a photocopy. Conclusion It is seen that the contact area of the subjects subject to Forensic Document Examination is increasing day by day, and all forensic cases may be addressed in this expanding field. In order for the judicial and legal process to function properly, it is necessary not only to focus on the facts contained in the documents, but also the methods of arranging, storing and reproducing the documents are of great importance. In this respect, obtaining the original documents plays an important role both when considering exemplary judicial decisions and in terms of the correct and rapid establishment of the judicial process.
