Fingerprints required for ID cards in Beijing

A fingerprint scanner is tested at a police station where all residents in Beijing will have their prints taken for identity cards, May 26, 2013. Staring from June 1, people in the capital will have two fingers scanned by the system before issuing ID cards. No extra costs will be charged and old ID cards without fingerprints are still effective until the expiry date. [Photo/CFP]
