The procedure of fingerprinting was originally applied to persons subjected to criminal liability. On the basis of papillary lines of the fingers were made of the fingerprint card, which is then included in the file cabinets of the interior Ministry.
In addition to searching for criminals, the procedure of fingerprinting facilitates the identification of victims of disasters, local military conflicts, etc.
System ADIS
Modern fingerprinting methods of accounting allow you to quickly identify the person by his fingerprints. Russia operates an automated fingerprint information system (AFIS) able to identify the person only by one fingerprint. Earlier, when I used the fingerprint card, it was necessary to check all ten fingerprints.
