Help recusant fingerprint

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Plasterk, needs to come up with a solution soon for people who refuse to supply a fingerprint for a passport or ID, states the National Ombudsman Alex Brenninkmeijer in a letter to Plasterk.It amounts to a small group of people, but they have great difficulties in arranging everyday matters, says Brenninkmeijer. He cites hospital visits, foreign travels, opening a bank account, voting in elections and retrieving packets as examples. Fingerprint_scanner_identification

People who refuse to supply a fingerprint for a new ID card may be afraid their data is not securely stored by the government. Or they feel affected in their privacy because of the government's increasing need for more information, says Brenninkmeijer.
