β 12y agoThere 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.

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.
The independent variable in this experiment is the fingerprinting powders. The dependent variable is the points of minutiae, which are identifying points on a fingerprint.
