Abstract
A system and corresponding method for obtaining fingerprint samples of a person completing an application form and using those samples to verify that person's identity. The system employs an application form, such as a life insurance application, job application, banking or checking account application, and so on, comprising a first substrate having a fingerprint information receiving area adaptable to receive a fingerprint image of a finger of the person completing the application. The system further employs a second form, such as a chain of custody form, comprising a second substrate having an area adaptable to receive thereon a fingerprint image of the finger of the person. Preferably, an inkless fingerprint kit is used to provide the fingerprint samples on both forms. The fingerprint samples can be compared either manually or through the use of a computer to verify whether the same person provided the samples on both forms.
