Integrated Biometrics (IB), a global leader in biometric fingerprint technology, proudly announces the introduction of InfantID, a revolutionary solution for capturing high quality fingerprint images from birth offering a transformative leap in lifelong biometric traceability.
Showcased at ID4Africa 2025 Annual General Meeting (20-23 May 2025) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to be featured at Identity Week Europe 2025 (17-18 June 2025) in Amsterdam, InfantID sets a new standard for infant and early childhood biometric identification, addressing critical challenges in capturing infant fingerprints and ensuring lifelong traceability of identification.
“With InfantID, we are creating a revolutionary option for establishing identity at the very beginning of life,” said Eleanor Benson, Vice President, InfantIB and Strategic Accounts, “It’s not just about solving a technical challenge, it’s about giving every child a secure, verifiable identity from day one.”
Identity That Grows With the Child
InfantID is built for long-term traceability. As a child matures, new scans can be compared against the original day-zero capture, ensuring traceability to Immutable Evidence of Origin (IEOs) – the foundation of identity that allows for access to healthcare, education, legal protections, and social services throughout life. When the child’s fingerprints are compatible with traditional Appendix F-certified sensors, there is assurance that the correct child is being enrolled, thus seamlessly linking early and later biometric records.
Breaking Through Decades of Limitations
Historically, capturing infant fingerprints has been hindered by physiological challenges such as the small size of the fingers, thin and elastic skin, and indistinct ridge patterns. InfantID overcomes these barriers using AI-powered image enhancement, proprietary algorithms, and an ergonomic form factor tailored to newborns. The solution provides:
• High-quality 500 ppi fingerprint images from day zero
• Match-ready output for identification across ABIS/AFIS platforms
• Future-proof design that enables seamless comparison from birth to early childhood
• Compatibility with any biometric matcher, thanks to system-agnostic SDK integration
Shaping the Future
As biometric identification becomes the global standard for child protection and service delivery, InfantID positions organizations at the forefront of this transformation. By adopting InfantID, stakeholders can ensure children’s access to critical services while establishing a foundation for secure, lifelong identity management.
