At a peripheral terminal personal details of an applicant are entered onto a part 1 of a printed form and his fingerprint and signature onto a stub 1' of the form. The form is provided with a serial number 2. The stub 1' and a photograph of the applicant, marked with a control number, are sent to a central station in an envelope and the personal details together with the serial number, the control number, and an identification number are sent electronically. At the central station, data on the stub 1' are scanned by a digitizer 7 and printed in alpha- numerical characters onto a sheet 13 together with other data. Information from the sheet 13 is transferred to a PVC sheet 17 which is sandwiched with further PVC sheets. The photograph is placed in a recess in this sandwich. <IMAGE> |
