Regrettably, there are “inverted” search billboards, to be found very infrequently: it is not the parents who look for their child, but the child looks for his or her parents.

The child does not come home in time... regrettably this can happen. At first you start phoning, then go to the police. Parents give the data, the description, photo, everything they have. A big machinery starts to work, investigation, later asking for help from the press, from the TV stations, even later billboard-making, internet.
Time passes, data become outdated and the photograph does not even resemble...

Jackie Coogan, perhaps the best-known child’s portrait.

Would anybody recognize him apart from his parents?

What would happen if his parents had a TP card of him? He could be at home by the next day.

One’s fingerprint remains the same for one’s whole lifetime.

It can be worn off or rubbed down of skin, yet it will be regenerated to the same. And we have 10 fingers, all of them different.

Could parents have done more in the interest of a more successful search?

Fingerprint is a unique feature, it is stable throughout the whole lifespan, it does not change with age and it can be compared and searched for by a computer-based procedure (AFIS). Identity of fingerprints indicates an unambiguous connection between a found and a searched-for person. If parents are able to provide a TP card for the police, with this, they significantly increase chances of finding.

Do we remember him? He has recently been found by the Greek police. It lasted for months to tell of the many candidate parents from whom s/he had disappeared several years ago. Thanks to the DNA test and identification s/he is at home again.

On-the-scene preparation of a print sheet

If – for the sake of their security – you want to have a TP card prepared of your child, your family members, we visit you at your home with our dedicated mobile TP card enrollment bus and prepare the TP card, without inking.
In addition to the printed TP card you will receive a CD with the electronic TP card in standard format (NIST file).
Please, keep the TP card and the CD in a safe place!
We hope you will never need them!

Upon the TPC card enrollment, an extended quality assurance takes place

this prevents enrollment in the wrong order (full finger order checking, control of hand exchange).
after enrollment there is an image quality control according to NISTIR, to avoid quality impairment due to excessively dry or wet fingers.

The highest recording and printing quality

TP card meets the quality requirements developed by FBI for both the TP card enrollment and printing – compliance is verified by the FBI quality certificates.

Warranted data security
