Fast ID
General Information on Fast ID
What is Fast ID?
The MorphoTouch Fast ID device uses biometric technology to capture the index
fingerprints of a person, encode the fingerprints, and send the results to a standalone
server at WDOJ. An open search is conducted, and if the fingerprints are located in
the database, the following information is returned to the Fast ID device:
• State Identification Number (SID);
• Sex;
• Race;
• Birth date;
• Local Identification Number (LID)*
*LID was not indexed in WDOJ’s former automated fingerprint identification
system (AFIS). Fingerprint cards that are contributed today with a local
identification number will index in AFIS using the first contributed LID.
Names are not stored in the WDOJ AFIS; therefore, cannot be returned.
If no identification is made, a “NO MATCH” result is returned. You will also
receive a “NO MATCH” result if the 10 print record that was contributed in still in
process, or has queued to error.
The message remains on the display until the operator presses any key to continue.
These devices are capable of handling single amputated and bandaged fingers.
If an “IDENTIFIED” is returned to the device, press the “NEXT” button (2 nd blue
button from the top left) to view the SID, sex, race, and birth date. If you press
NEXT again you will view the local identification number if one exists.
New master criminal records (a master criminal record is created when the first arrest
fingerprint card is received for an individual) created prior to December 2002 will
return a default month and year of birth value of 11/11/CCYY. (CCYY being the
correct century and year of birth). Here’s an example: 11/11/1972. For those new
master records received after December 2002, the correct month and birthdate will
be returned as in this example: 06/17/1972. In both instances, the correct month and
birth date will appear on the rap sheet.
How Fast ID Works
CIB indexes fingerprint images and sends them to a biometric server. These smaller
“buckets” of left and right index fingerprints result in more rapid searches since
queries are not searching against the entire ten-print database. When a quality image
is acquired from the Fast ID device, the MorphoTouch encodes these images and
send a 1- to -many matching transaction request to the biometric server. This
