Docufraud Forensic Laboratory Announces Expansion of Laboratory Services

Public accessible Forensic testing is limited to a small group of laboratories.  Docufraud has expanded it’s forensic capabilities to meet this requirement.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANAD’A, December 2025 — Docufraud Forensic Laboratory is pleased to announce it’s expansion of forensic services intended for the general public.  Currently, Forensic laboratories seem to provide testing to law enforcement or select government agencies.  For entities who do not fit either of these categories, they are excluded from accessing the services provided.  Docufraud Forensic Laboratory believes that mindset needs correction.

If you or your organization fit’s into one of these categories, you’ve been excluded:

• Criminal defence lawyers;
• Private investigators;
• Workplace or Insurance investigators;
• Corporations and small business;
• Unions;
• Regulatory bodies; and
• Everyday people;

Currently there are limited options for non-governmental agencies or members of the public to obtain their own independent and unbiased analysis of trace evidence.  At our expanded lab, Evidence collection can be examined and used in criminal as well as civil proceedings.

Laboratory equipment is expensive and many laboratories open to the public are specialists.  For example, many labs can offer DNA testing, blood testing or environmental testing of water or air impurities.  Police laboratories and Docufraud laboratory also provide specialist services. The difference between a police lab and ours is we accept all forensic enquiries, no matter how small or whether you belong to one of the excluded groups listed above.

Docufraud began in 2017 as a specialist in Forensic Document Examination.  In 2024 we expanded by offering fingerprint and ink analysis on paper documents.  Anonymous letters in a workplace investigation or a threatening note sealed in an envelope will contain fingerprints from the sender.  Our specialist experts will develop the prints and match them to a suspect.  Ink luminescence testing is routinely used to identify a writing instrument tied to a suspect of forged documents, hold-up notes or altered cheques.

Later that same year, we purchased additional equipment such as a Multispectral 3D imaging microscope. Our Keyence VHX-X1 allows for the detailed examination of tool marks from a crime scene, ballistic examination of bullets and shell casings.  Most requested is the examination of altered or obliterated serial number on a VIN tag from a stolen vehicle.  We’re also able to enhance rusted and worn serial numbers on firearms.  All this in 3D using infrared and UV forensic lighting when needed.

Our expansion continued into 2025 with a forensic crime scene technician or CSI.  Our technician is trained to attend crime or workplace accident scenes on behalf of employers.  We employ forensic photography for future identification in support of an insurance claim or coroners inquest.

Docufraud’s forensic technician has also been provided with the latest equipment used for the detection of spyware.  This includes the detection of miniature cameras, listening devices and GPS tracking devices.  This is a service most used by private investigators, it also includes businesses concerned about corporate espionage.  Spyware detection is also requested by individuals concerned about safety or privacy at a hotel or Bed & Breakfast.

Docufraud’s most recent expansion is the forensic analysis of digital devices and documents.  This specialized forensic service is commonly used to detect the metadata embedded within a document.  Documents can be altered or backdated.  We can now precisely confirm when, how and who. Your digital data is like a fingerprint and our forensic laboratory will extract the metadata from your device or document and positively confirm it authenticity.

Businesses often are the subject of vandalism or theft.  Grainy or blurry security video is of little help, but our certified expert can enhance any video footage.  Muffled, masked or the intentional disguise of an audio file can easily be enhanced to identify the speaker.

When provided with a genuine voice sample, our forensic experts can differentiate between an AI generated voice and a real human voice.  Whether masked, muffled or disguised, in any language, we can identify the minute characteristics necessary to confirm what is real and what is not real.

Celebrities and politicians are particularly susceptible to impersonation and the unauthorized use of their image and voice.  It may be to promote a product or service, or it may be used by foreign entities to sow distrust by disseminating false and misleading information.  

Docufraud’s Forensic Laboratory is pleased to announce our expansion into greater areas for testing of physical evidence.  In the coming months, we intend to announce further forensic expansion that employ’s the latest technology to allow us to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
