Abstract
A renewal apparatus for an IC card, which utilizes biometrics information to perform individual authentication, prevents the divulgence of biometrics data during renewal, while rigorously confirming the identity of the individual. A control unit confirms the identity of the individual in biometrics authentication by the biometrics authentication functions of an old IC card, and confirmation of the identity of the individual is performed rigorously using the IC card with biometrics authentication functions. If confirmation of the identity of the individual is satisfactory, the biometrics data obtained in the biometrics authentication is registered in a new IC card. The renewal can be performed with only a single image capture operation, and divulgence of biometrics information is prevented.
