What is AFIS

The Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is an advanced biometric identification

methodology which uses digital imaging technology to obtain, store, and analyze fingerprint data. The AFIS was initially used by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for criminal identification. Now, this robust technology is being used for Border Control, Voter Registration, Latent Print, National ID, ePassports, Healthcare & Welfare, Public Safety.

Fingerprinting, as a form of personal identification, is a superior methodology that is proven in practice and accepted in courts of law. AFIS is being used for more than 25 years. Recently, a more advanced form of AFIS uses a process called Plain-Impression live scanning.
