Civil fingerprint identification, such as occurs with police or soldiers entering into public service, is the recording of a person's fingerprints primarily for the purposes of: Determining the person has no prior criminal arrest record. Verifying the person's identity at a later date. Criminal fingerprint identification is the recording of an arrested person's fingerprints primarily for the purposes of: Recording the arrest and/or conviction information in a permanent file associated with that person. Determining the person's true identity if they have used other names for previous arrests. Determining the person's prior arrest/conviction record.   ben (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: ip24-251-34-100.ph.ph.cox.net Posted on Thursday, January 11, 2007 - 10:04 pm:        What is the difference between civil and criminal identification
