A paper sheet management apparatus includes: a serial number recognizing unit 38A that performs a character recognition of a serial number of predetermined digits for recognizing a banknote from the banknote, obtains a character recognition result including a recognizable character and/or an unrecognizable character, and obtains a serial number recognition result including a recognizable determined character and/or an unrecognizable error character based on the obtained character, recognition result; a serial number registration condition processing unit 38B that judges whether the serial number recognition result meets a predetermined registration condition based on the determined character or the error character in the obtained serial number recognition result; and a DB control unit 38E that registers banknote detailed information including the serial number recognition result in a database 33, when the serial number recognition result meets the predetermined registration condition, and forbids registration of the serial number recognition result in the database 33, when the serial number recognition result does not meet the predetermined registration condition. Thus, needless registration of serial numbers can be avoided, and an operational burden on a user who inputs a serial number can be significantly reduced.
