Abstract
In 1982, the National Police Agency of Japan (NPA) developed and introduced the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), which computerized the process of fingerprint extraction and matching from the NPA´s database. This was the first system in the world which realized automated latent fingerprint matching. In 1997, NPA advanced AFIS by introducing online terminals. This made it possible to perform inquiries from many remote sites such as prefecture police headquarters (PPH) and police stations (PS). Thus we could drastically shorten the inquiry time. This paper gives an outline of the advanced AFIS and its components
