Moreover, the fingerprint identification have already proved its usefulness several times in authenticity control.

Here is a bunch of such examples

Instead of an entry card

In the first days, TP card identification served person identification purposes. We know the ancient Chinese documents authenticated by the own autograph of one or the other emperor.

Herschel can also be mentioned here, who “invented” the authentication by palmprints in the Indian colonies: his workers gave their palmprints as a confirmation of receipt of their wages; Herschel himself verified agreements with his workers by his palmprint. (It seems there were people in the 1800’s, too, who tried to take their payment twice for the same job.)

At the end of 1800’s, when it was discovered that perpetrators of a crime could be identified based on their fingerprints (Vucetich), TP card preparation was started in large numbers and TP card archives began to be created. And since then, the TP card preparation and identification was almost fully monopolized by the police, by the law enforcement.

Except for a couple of applications in personal ID documents in the 40’s,

“criminal” and “fingerprint preparation”, respectively, were connected notions until the end of the 80’s.

Despite the fact that technical possibilities were ready for its civilian applications (e.g. in security systems), introduction of fingerprinting was still delayed by the significant social aversion.

People were not anxious to provide their portraits, their eyes (iris, retina), their palms (palm geometry), their voices (voice identification), but that finger... they were anxious to apply their fingers. “Since if it is a fingerprint, then I will be regarded a criminal”.

It was perhaps in the early 2000’s, when it became possible for fingerprint identification to get rid of this “criminal” prejudice; since then it began to penetrate into civilian everyday life.

And fingerprint identification became “our friend”, as it simplifies our everyday life and is able to make it more safe, because fingerprint identification can easily be automated.
