The full set of fingerprints shall be used for one-to-many identification in the databases of fingerprints maintained by the FBI.
4 For example, [SPRINGER MEMO] at http://www.opm.gov/investigate/resources/final_credentialing_standards.pdf and the Federal Investigative Standards. 5 For example, [OMB0524] at http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-24.pdf. The two mandatory fingerprints shall be used for preparation of templates to be stored on the PIV Card as described in Section 4.2.3.1. The fingerprints provide an interagency-interoperable authentication mechanism through a match-off-card scheme as described in Section 6.2.1. These fingerprints are also the primary means of authentication during PIV issuance and maintenance processes.
The optional fingerprints may be used for preparation of the fingerprint templates for on-card comparison as described in Section 4.2.3.1. OCC may be used to support card activation as described in Section 4.3.1. OCC may also be used for cardholder authentication (OCC-AUTH) as described in Section 6.2.2.
The electronic iris images may be stored on the PIV Card as described in Section 4.2.3.1. Agencies may choose to collect iris biometrics as a second biometric to support multimodal authentication to improve accuracy, operational suitability, to accommodate user preferences, or as a backup when the fingerprint biometric is unavailable.
The electronic facial image:
+ shall be stored on the PIV Card as described in Section 4.2.3.1;
+ shall be printed on the PIV Card according to Section 4.1.4.1;
+ may be used for generating a visual image on the monitor of a guard workstation for augmenting the visual authentication process defined in Section 6.2.6; and
+ may be used for automated facial authentication in operator-attended PIV issuance, reissuance, and verification data reset processes.

PIV operator-attendedbackground PIVinvestigation, issuanceidentity proofing, reissuanceregistration, and issuance processes MAY be performed across multiple sessions at different facilities. If multiple sessions are needed, the applicant SHALL be linked through a positive biometric verification decision obtained from an automated comparison of biometric characteristics captured at a previous session to biometric characteristics captured during the current session. Issuers SHALL follow applicable federal laws and regulations regarding the retention and destruction of biometric data.
For resetlinking processesto background investigations, only fingerprints SHALL be used, since fingerprints are the only biometric characteristic used for background investigations. For all other purposes, verification attempts MAY be performed against any available biometric characteristic stored electronically on the PIV Card or in the enrollment record.
