At Forera Forensic & Investigation Service (FFIS), our Fingerprint Forensics division plays a crucial role in criminal investigations, identity verification, and evidence authentication. We specialize in developing, lifting, comparing, and analyzing latent fingerprints found on various surfaces to identify individuals and link them to crime scenes, documents, or objects.
Our services are backed by certified experts, modern technology, and legally sound procedures, ensuring our findings are both accurate and admissible in court.
Our Specialized Services Include:
Fingerprint Development & Lifting
We recover latent fingerprints from various surfaces at crime scenes or from submitted items.
Techniques used:
- Powder Dusting (Black, White, Magnetic)
- Cyanoacrylate (Superglue) Fuming
- Ninhydrin or Silver Nitrate Treatment for porous surfaces
- Fluorescent dye staining under UV light
- Lifting with fingerprint tapes and cards for lab comparison
Fingerprint Matching & Identification
Our experts compare collected fingerprints with known samples (from suspects, victims, or employees) to determine identity.
We analyze:
- Ridge patterns (loops, whorls, arches)

- Angle, pressure, and orientation of print
Matching can be conducted manually or using AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) software, depending on case requirements.
