A code reader incorporated into a fingerprint scanner for viewing of security items such as credit cards, bank cards, passports and the like and comparing embedded coding on the item to an individual's fingerprint. In this manner, the imaging plane can be used to view the security items in combination with scanning the fingerprint of the individual for comparison.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for identity verification, comprising the steps of:capturing at least one fingerprint image and generating information representative thereof, wherein said capturing step comprises the steps of:illuminating a scanner plate with light of a second spectral characteristic to create a fingerprint image, anddetecting the fingerprint image;reading fingerprint coding placed upon a security item and generating information representative thereof, wherein said reading step comprises the steps of:receiving the security item in an image area.illuminating the image area with light of a first spectral characteristic, anddetecting the image area; andcomparing the information representative of the fingerprint coding and information representative of the captured at least one fingerprint image; whereby an identity verification can be made.
