Interoperability is a major issue in the biometrics field. Historically, there has been no interoperability between the Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems manufactured worldwide. This changed in 2000 when the ANSI-NIST standard was adopted worldwide for the exchange of fingerprints, palm prints, photographs, scars mark and tattoos. In Canada this is known as the National Police Services - NIST - Interface Control Document.

L'interopérabilité est une question d'envergure en ce qui a trait à la biométrie. De tout temps, il n'y a eu aucune interopérabilité entre les systèmes automatisés d'identification dactyloscopique, produits partout dans le monde. Cette situation a changé en 2000, lorsque la norme ANSI-NIST a été adoptée mondialement pour l'échange d'empreintes digitales, d'empreintes des paumes, de photographies, de cicatrices, de marques distinctives et de tatouages. Au Canada, elle se nomme Services nationaux de police - NIST - Document de contrôle (interface).
