After every newborn is delivered, hospitals perform one procedure: collecting footprints.

Why? Because footprints are the only identifiable biometric feature a baby has at birth. Fingerprints are too small to capture easily, whereas footprints are relatively clear and can serve as proof of identity to prevent mix-ups and assist with record-keeping.

However, traditional collection methods are somewhat primitive: ink pads, paper, and archiving. Over time, the prints become blurry, making comparison difficult—not to mention the challenges of digital management and cross-hospital data sharing.

The Xingqihang FAP60 solves this problem.

The FAP60 is a multi-finger fingerprint scanner, but it doesn’t just capture fingers—it’s equally adept at capturing footprints.

With 500 DPI ultra-high-definition imaging that meets international standards, it clearly captures even the finest patterns on a baby’s soles. One press captures the image, instantly generating an electronic record stored in the system—no more worries about smudged ink or lost paper.

With a capture time of just 0.25 seconds, it handles wiggly little feet with ease—even nurses can keep up with the speed.

Glass-based liveness detection ensures that genuine footprints are captured, not silicone replicas—though the likelihood of forgery with newborns is extremely low, having this technical safeguard in place is essential for reliability.

More importantly, this electronic record isn’t isolated.

Once collection is complete, the infant’s footprint data can be linked to the parents’ fingerprint information, creating a comprehensive family identity record that is stored in the system and accompanies the child throughout their life.

What does this mean?

If, by any chance, the child goes missing or a situation arises requiring identity verification, there is no need for the hassle of complex DNA matching. A single on-site collection of a footprint or fingerprint is all it takes for the system to quickly match—within seconds, it can confirm whether they are family.

The collected footprint data complies with international passport standards and U.S. FBI certification requirements. This means that this electronic record can be used in the future for identity verification and immigration checks, taking the child from the delivery room to the world.

From hospital delivery rooms to government registration systems, and from newborn footprints to adult fingerprints, the FAP60 serves multiple purposes. It has already been implemented in numerous overseas government applications, including newborn registration, election voting, and immigration verification.

Establishing a newborn’s first electronic identity record with the Xingqihang FAP60 is a fitting choice.
