7. Online Verification

8. Online Verification Gives 3 main results:
Green: ID number exists on HANIS and the scanned fingerprint matches that image stored on HANIS
Amber: ID number exist but HANIS cannot confidently match scanned and stored fingerprint
Red with message “ Identity check failed” :
- owner of scanned fingerprint (client) may not be the owner of the ID
- fingerprint of rightful owner of the ID has been fraudulently changed on HANIS
quality of stored fingerprint is not good quality, making matching it to another difficult
