Yes, according to the judicial interpretation of the Civil Procedure Law of the Supreme People's Court, the time for applying for handwriting identification should be put forward within the time limit for presenting evidence. Under normal circumstances, the time limit for presenting evidence in ordinary cases is not less than fifteen days. After the plaintiff brings a lawsuit to the court, if the court accepts the case and needs to authenticate the handwriting, the plaintiff entrusts an authentication institution to handle it and pays an authentication fee in advance.
