Common questions
Why does INTERPOL colour-code its DVI forms?+
Pink for post-mortem and yellow for ante-mortem lets teams sort large volumes of paperwork by sight during a high-tempo, multi-agency operation, reducing the chance of mismatched or misfiled records.
Who is responsible for completing it?+
It is filled in at the post-mortem examination station, typically by the pathologist working alongside the odontologist and fingerprint examiner assigned to that body.
