That train has already left the station. E.g. If you renew Driving License in most large cities RTO stores digital fingerprints+ photograph. If you register any property transaction in Mumbai, you have to supply digital fingerprints.
Do they simply store prints or do they have software and a process that identifies difference in prints against the same name as well as similarity of prints against different names? Everytime a new entry is made, it has to be checked with all existing records.
All this system does is, it centralizes this storage and reduces cost since each govt agency does not have to roll its own solution.
I agree. Centralisation makes compilation of inputs and analysis of data easier.
