Fingerprints remain one of the most reliable ways to connect a person to a document or an object. We compare disputed thumb impressions on documents and examine latent prints, identifying matching ridge characteristics point by point.
What we do
- Thumb impression verification on sale deeds, wills, registers and loan papers
- Development of latent prints on paper, glass, metal and other surfaces
- Point-by-point comparison of ridge characteristics with specimen prints
- Taking specimen fingerprints in the correct format for comparison
- Review of fingerprint reports prepared by other laboratories
When clients come to us
- A thumb impression on a property document is claimed to be yours or a relative's
- An illiterate or elderly person's thumb impression on a deed is disputed
- A theft or break-in has left prints that need examination
- An advocate wants an independent view on an existing fingerprint report

How it works
What you receive
A comparison report with enlarged, marked charts of the prints and the matching or differing characteristics that support the conclusion.
Questions about fingerprint examination
Can a smudged thumb impression be compared?
Sometimes. If enough clear ridge detail is present, a comparison is possible. If not, we will say so honestly rather than give a weak opinion.
Do you take fingerprints of a deceased person?
Where it is lawful and permitted by the family and authorities, specimen prints can be taken. Contact us early, as timing matters.
Is my case kept confidential?
Yes. Your identity, the details you share and our findings are kept private and are released only to you or to whomever you direct in writing.
