There is no standard number required. In fact, the decision as to whether or not there is a match is left entirely to the individual examiner. However, individual departments and agencies may have their own set of standards in place that requires a certain number of points be matched before making a positive identification.

Details, minutiae, trifles, fine points...
Minutiae points in fingerprints are the small, unique features that help distinguish one fingerprint from another. They include characteristics such as ridge endings, bifurcations, and dots, which contribute to the overall pattern of the fingerprint. These points are crucial in forensic science and biometric identification, as they provide a detailed and specific framework for matching fingerprints. The unique arrangement and number of minutiae points make each fingerprint distinct, even among identical twins.

average of 120 to 150 points [handbook of fingerprint recognition 2009]
Points on a fingerprint where ridge characteristics change are called minutiae. These include ridge endings, where a ridge terminates, and bifurcations, where a ridge splits into two branches. Minutiae are used for fingerprint matching and identification.
The points are called "Minutiae". For a DA, ADA, or any prosecuting attorney to make a case off your finger prints they will need at least 10 Minutiae Points. Of course the more the merrier. The more would make the case stronger. But 10 will do it.
