Positive identification and protection of documents using inkless fingerprint methodology

摘要

A method and process to be utilized on any printed document, which, for example, include but are not limited to airline tickets, labels, checks, bonds, passports, green cards, prescription slips, and any other document with identification of the user or owner is critical, by providing a system for coating a portion of the document with a chemical compound, for determining an image thereupon, the system which would include the steps of first providing a document; next, applying a clear chemical coating onto at least a portion of the document; applying an non- visible image onto the chemical coated portion of the document; providing an activator solution; applying the activated solution to the chemically coated portion of the document to reveal the image thereupon; identifying the stamped image for assuring that the stamped image is not a counterfeit or the like. There may be further included the step of providing a second portion of the document with a coated solution and providing a fingerprint onto the treated portion of the document so that when an activator solution is applied thereto, a fingerprint would appear for matching the fingerprint with the holder of the document. The activator solution may be dispensed through various ways, including, but not limited to a pad, a pen, or a spray container.
