'''Expertization''' is the process of [[authentication]] of an object, usually of a sort that is [[collecting|collected]], by an individual [[expert|authority]] or a committee of authorities. The expert, or expert committee, examines the collectible and issues a certificate typically including:
 
* A statement of:
** Whether or not the item is authentic
** Identification of any damage to the item
** Identification of any repairs to the item
** Identification of any forgery or faked parts of the item
* A photo of the item
 
Some experts apply a mark or signature to the item attesting its genuineness.
 
Expertization is particularly common with valuable [[philatelic]] items, some of which are so often forged that they may be unsaleable without it.
