RAIC incorporates biometric identifiers such as which of the following?

• A. Fingerprint
• B. Password
• C. Social Security Number
• D. Passport Number

Answer: (A)

Biometric identifiers are measurements of a person’s unique physical traits used to verify identity, rather than something you know or an issued document number. Fingerprint is a classic biometric because the ridge patterns on each finger are unique to an individual and can be measured by sensors for quick, reliable authentication.

The other items aren’t biometric. A password is something you know, not something measured from your body. Social Security Number and Passport Number are government-issued identifiers used to look up records, but they don’t confirm identity through a measured physical trait. Some passports may carry biometric data in a chip, but the number itself remains an identifier, not a biometric trait.
