Can forensic handwriting identification be used as legal evidence?
China's criminal procedure law stipulates that all materials that can be used to prove the facts of a case can be used as evidence, including physical evidence. Note that authentication is one of them. In theory, bills can be used as evidence as long as they can produce the legal pre-position of legal authentication institutions.

1. Can handwriting identification be used as evidence?

Handwriting identification is a kind of evidence, which can be used as evidence in court. The evidence required by the court must be a certificate issued by a legal entity with evaluation qualification. As long as there is a legal certificate issued by a legal authentication institution, it is considered valid in law. In fact, the accuracy of handwriting identification through calligraphy is as high as 100%. Therefore, apart from general human factors, the law supports handwriting identification as evidence. Of course, if it is only 65%, the evidence law will not be selected.

Second, what evidence is legally recognized?

Article 50 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that all materials that can be used to prove the facts of a case are evidence. Evidence includes:

(1) Physical evidence;

(2) Documentary evidence;

(3) Testimony of witnesses;

(4) the victim's statement;

(5) confessions and excuses of criminal suspects and defendants;

(6) Appraisal opinions;

(7) Records of inquests, inspections, appraisals, investigations and experiments;

(8) Audio-visual materials and electronic data.

Three. Signature statement as evidence

The evidence must be verified before it can be used as the basis for finalizing the case. Because handwriting analysis has the characteristics of simplicity, convenience, high accuracy and strong personalization, and because handwriting has the characteristics of strong writing motivation, although the writer may change his handwriting slightly because of his mood and other reasons, although he can change the slope, size, thickness and speed of the font, his writing habits in life cannot be changed like fingerprints. Therefore, handwriting analysis can avoid the limitations of concealment, distortion, installation and random answer caused by the subjects' unwillingness to cooperate, and can understand the subjects' psychology more objectively.

Before signing, the other party must be required to show valid identity documents (ID card, military officer's card, etc.). ), extract the valid ID number and carefully verify the identity of the other party. Otherwise, it is inevitable that people will sometimes be impersonated. Simply put, as long as the signature is true, even if the copy of the ID card is not filed, the other party cannot deny it. On the contrary, if the signature is not true (such as being signed by someone), even if the original ID card is kept, it is useless. People can completely understand this as lost or stolen. Therefore, no matter who is in our daily life, we should pay special attention to the signature, especially in the financial department, and we should strictly control it, fully understand the importance of signature in banking business, and use it correctly in business documents to ensure the safety of bank funds.
