Document Authentication Solutions: Travel & Identity Documents
foster+freeman manufacture advanced solutions for use at all 3 lines of questioned document examination:
FIRST LINE EXAMINATION
A first line examination may be described as the visual inspection of overt security features, which may be undertaken by a trained examiner using sight and touch alone.
SECONd line examination
Second line examination requires users of varying levels of expertise, using simple equipment, to be able to quickly and easily detect and authenticate semi-covert security features that cannot otherwise be discerned by the naked eye.
Third Line (Forensic) Examination
Third line examinations are conducted by QDE experts equipped with specialist equipment capable of revealing covert security features.

ESDA® 2
The Industry Standard System for Detecting Indented Writing
LEARN MORE
The ESDA® 2 works by creating an electrostatic image of indented writing, which is then visualized by the application of charge-sensitive toners. The sensitive imaging process reacts to sites of microscopic damage to fibres at the surface of a document, which have been created by abrasive interaction with overlying surfaces during the act of handwriting.
