biometric card
Fingerprint-enabled credential
A biometric card is an identification card that stores or verifies unique physical characteristics—fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features.
The card may contain a chip with biometric data, or it may trigger a scan when used: The border agent asked for my biometric card and a thumbprint.
Common for passports, national IDs, and secure facility access.
